Overview of modules taught in English

We offer you a wide range of English-language Engineering and Computer Sciences modules that can be combined to suit your individual requirements.

Data Science

In the BSc Data Science programme, there are no traditional face to face lectures. Instead, you will get access to an online library with learning videos, texts and assignments to acquire the knowledge of a Data Scientist. As a self-directed learner, you decide when you learn – at home or on campus. You will be supported by an English-speaking coach who will provide you with the necessary study materials in English.
