Shape the digital future

Learn the foundations that outlast any single technology and develop the skills to build software that is secure, scalable and correct. From algorithms and AI, to data-driven systems and cybersecurity.

Why study for a Bachelor’s Computer Science at VU Amsterdam?

  • Understand computer systems from top to bottom: From games and AI down to the chips and networks underneath, computing shapes almost everything. You learn how those systems work, and how to build them.
  • Learn from researchers in the field: You learn from experts doing active work in software engineering, security, computer systems, theoretical computer science and AI.
  • Build understanding that outlasts any tool: A real grasp of how computation works survives any programming language or AI tool. It is what lets you learn new tools quickly, and know what to do when they fall short.
  • Study fully in English, in Amsterdam, on one connected campus: A single campus in the Zuidas Innovation District, with students from all over the world and researchers from every faculty within walking distance.
  • Continue learning within the connected learning ecosystem: Continue seamlessly from your Bachelor’s to the Master’s in Computer Science or one of 6 related Master’s programmes at VU Amsterdam, allowing you to deepen your expertise as your interests evolve.
