This unique pathway offers outstanding students from the Applied Data Science & Artificial Intelligence bachelor’s programme at BUas the opportunity to take courses at JADS during their bachelor’s studies, as preparation for the master’s programme in Data Science in Business and Entrepreneurship.
This integrated transfer programme facilitates a smooth transition for talented students moving from a university of applied sciences (HBO) to a research university (WO). In their fourth year, selected BUas students will attend a 30 ECTS pre-master’s track at JADS, which is integrated into their curriculum as a minor. Upon successful completion of both their bachelor’s and the transition programme, students gain direct access to the corresponding master’s degree at JADS.
’This collaboration underlines our ambition to offer top-performing students maximum opportunities to further develop within the field of data science,’ says Frank Peters, Programme Manager of Applied Data Science & AI at BUas.
Jos van Hillegersberg, Academic Director at JADS, adds: ’With this programme, we’re building a bridge between higher professional education and university education. It aligns perfectly with our mission to encourage and educate data science talent at all levels for the challenges of the future.’
The first students will begin the transfer programme in September 2025. Selection is based on GPA and motivation.
