About
In previous years the Department of Computer Science organized a thesis fair that helped students find job opportunities and gave several companies of different sizes the chance to showcase their internship projects. This fair was available to all students of the two bachelor's programs and five master programs of the department.
Simultaneously Study Associations STORM organized a fair later in the year, which served their 1500 members. The STORM Career Fair is a successful initiative with a history of over 6 years.
This year we have decided to join forces and organize one fair, the Tech Horizons Thesis Fair 2024, for all students of the Department of Computer Science. We want to accommodate the 3000 students as best we can and give them the change to connect with representatives from research organizations and the industry.

Department of Computer Science
Within the Department of Computer Science we aim to educate and inspire the next generation of computer scientists, conduct groundbreaking research to address real-world challenges, and contribute to technological and societal advancements on a global scale.
Our research focuses on comprehending the principles, mechanisms, and technologies essential for creating and implementing advanced information-processing systems. This can be divided in five research areas: artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, computer systems and security, sustainable digital society and theoretical computer science.
STORM
STORM is the study association of the departments Mathematics and Computer Science from the Faculty of Science at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. STORM stands for STudent ORganisation Mathematicians, but is an association which has long been for more than just mathematics students
Education
In the Computer Science (CS) department at Vrije Universiteit (VU), we train students to become critical and socially engaged academics in a "connected world", where multiple disciplines work towards solutions for complex questions. Students explore the critical academic, theoretical, practical, and technological aspects of their field of study in a balanced programme. Our programmes are research-driven and offer challenging assignments in many areas.
MSc Bioinformatic and Systems Biology
