Where people and tech meet

The importance of Artificial Intelligence is growing exponentially.

Almost all organisations benefit from intelligent use of computers – the world is your oyster. Graduates from the Artificial Intelligence programme have no problem finding a job. Upon graduation, students either pursue a Master's degree or embark on their careers.

Artificial Intelligent graduates form a crucial bridge between technology and society – you might not be the programmer doing the coding yourself, but you will have the skills to analyse the problem, understand the need from a human perspective, and translate this knowledge into a project plan for a developer to execute. You could find yourself working on developing a care robot, an app to help people with depression, or e-learning programs to improve education.

Guszti Eiben, professor Artificial Intelligence at VU Amsterdam

'Given the fact that evolution can produce intelligence, it is plausible that artificial evolution can produce artificial intelligence'

Guszti Eiben is active in the field of Embodied AI, specifically in Evolutionary Robotics. In short, he is working on evolving and learning machines that reproduce, improve themselves, and develop intelligence over time. Watch his most prominent endeavours in this direction in this video.

What can you do after your Bachelor’s degree?

Continue your education

Most of our AI graduates choose to continue their studies with a Master’s degree, either at VU or at leading universities across Europe. Thanks to the interdisciplinary nature of the programme, you will have the freedom to specialise in many different fields, from Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science to Neurosciences, Linguistics, or even Health and Behaviour. If teaching is your passion, you can follow our educational minor in the third year and continue with an educational Master’s, giving you the opportunity to teach in Dutch secondary schools.

Start working

With a Bachelor’s in AI from VU Amsterdam, you can work as a Software or Applications Developer, building intelligent apps and systems; as a Data Scientist or MachineLearning Engineer, analysing data and creating models for fraud detection, healthcare, or recommendation systems; or as a Knowledge Manager or Information Analyst, helping organisations structure and use information effectively. Many graduates also become researchers in universities, research institutes, or R&D departments, while others move into roles in robotics, consulting, product management, or cybersecurity. This mix of technical, analytical, and interdisciplinary skills prepares you for careers in large corporations, dynamic start-ups, and research organisations worldwide.
