Programme profile


Artificial intelligence at the VU Amsterdam - the Lifestyle Informatics Bachelor’s degree programme - has two tracks:

- Artificial Intelligence
- Socially Aware Computing

The first year is the same for both tracks, the second year shares 40% of their programmes. This means you can switch very easily!

Artificial Intelligence Track

The AI track  focuses on building intelligent systems, i.e. on developing, applying and evaluating new intelligent algorithms. You will study how computers are able to learn automatically and how they accumulate, represent and apply knowledge on a large scale. This programme teaches you three main aspects: essential informatics skills and knowledge, such as programming, databases and algorithms; a sound foundation in mathematics in order to use and evaluate new methods, such as logic, algebra or statistics; and general AI methodology and technology, such as automatic learning and building intelligent systems.

Socially Aware Computing Track

his programme focuses on helping people by using artificial intelligence. You will learn how to develop the tools and programmes that make people’s everyday lives more pleasant, safer and healthier. For example, you could develop an intelligent living environment for the elderly, smart training programmes for athletes, or intelligent sensors and devices to help deal with stress.  In this track, s well as basic knowledge about informatics and artificial intelligence, you will learn about other specialist areas, including psychology and health sciences. In addition, you will learn to investigate how people live and how to use technical skills to increase their quality of life.
