Artificial Intelligence, when I studied there in 2018, was a very small program. I really liked this aspect because of the one-on-one attention provided by the professors and the intimacy of the workgroups. After the first year of completing the program, the popularity of the study increased significantly, with the number of students rising from 80 to 300. This growth demonstrates the study’s popularity at VU, which is a result of the well-delivered curriculum by the University

As a computer science student at the Vrije Universitet in Amsterdam, I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality of education and the level of expertise of the professors at this esteemed institution. The faculty members are passionate about their subjects and are always willing to provide guidance and support to students.

The curriculum is rigorous, and the coursework is designed to challenge students and prepare them for the ever-evolving world of technology. The courses cover a broad range of topics, from programming languages and algorithms to artificial intelligence and machine learning. The faculty also encourages students to take part in research projects and internships, providing valuable opportunities to apply what we have learned in the classroom to real-world scenarios.

The campus facilities are excellent, with state-of-the-art labs and equipment available for students to use. The university’s location in Amsterdam also offers plenty of opportunities for students to engage in cultural and recreational activities outside of their studies.

One of the things that stand out to me is the diverse student body. Being exposed to different perspectives and backgrounds has enriched my learning experience and expanded my understanding of computer science as a field.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Vrije Universitet to any computer science student looking for a challenging and rewarding academic experience, excellent faculty, and a diverse and inclusive community.

I study Artificial Intelligence and I love my program, but due to the actual circumstances, the vast majority of the program is taught online but exams have to be taken in person. This means that people from all over the world (taking into account that many students that study Computer Science come from Asia) have to assist twice or three times per period (2 months) to take their exams. If the whole program is online; so should the exams be. If the program is taught in person, students have a rational choice to take. For the rest, it is alright

I would recommend it, however skills in python are extremely required, you basically need it for each subject and if you do not have AI background make a course before you apply. Additionally, knowledge in Mathematics, linear algebra and depending on your track could be health, cognition or AI itself.

An overall good European university. I believe that tuition fees are expensive compared to the services and ranking of the university. A general feeling I got is that an international student is seen as a moving wallet rather than a person who faces many more problems compared to the locals. But I guess that is how North Europe works. A bad thing is that 2-year master students only get 1 year of student accommodation in order to serve 6-month “students” who come here mostly as tourists. If for some reason you end up doing your thesis abroad, good luck with getting responses in time. However, my overall rating is good since I cannot argue about the educational value that is offered and the prospects in the market after graduation.
