The Department of Computer Science annual Thesis Fair, connects students with research organisations and industry partners offering internships and graduate project opportunities.
Open to students from all bachelor’s and master’s programmes within the department, the Thesis Fair is designed to create meaningful connections between academia and industry. With over 2,500 students in our programmes, around 850 graduates each year, and approximately 600 attendees at the Thesis Fair, the event provides an excellent platform for students to explore career opportunities, gain insight into real-world projects, and connect directly with professionals from both industry and research organisations.
Our goal is to help students find a thesis project that matches their interests and ambitions, while enabling organisations to connect with talented and motivated future graduates. Participating in the fair is free

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.
Education
In the VU's Computer Science department, 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.
