STEM
Maastricht University (UM) collaborates with various partners to invest in research and education in the STEM sciences. We approach this from a content perspective, not just a science faculty angle, aiming to address contemporary challenges more intelligently through scientific components.
Education
UM integrates science in a unique way:
- Through theMaastricht Science Programme, you can design your own science curriculum within the liberal arts and sciences tradition.
- The Bachelor's inData Science and Artificial Intelligence combines computer science, artificial intelligence, and mathematics. In the second and third years, you gain work experience through theKE@Work honours programme, spending 50% of your study time working at companies like Vodafone and Medtronic on academic and complex business cases.
- The Bachelor's inBrain Science integrates psychology, biology, mathematics, and computational science, training you to become a versatile scientist with a transdisciplinary perspective on the human brain.
We hold the pieces of the puzzle; if we fail to be innovative here, no one will succeed
