Portfolio assignment

The first part is about your motivation. We ask you to explain why you chose this programme, what your future plans are, etc.

This part counts for 20%.

In this part, we ask you to explain why project-based learning appeals to you and what you expect from it. If you are invited for an interview, we will look at how you explain this (using your slides) and assess your communication skills.

This part also counts for 20%.

To gain insight into your level of mathematics, we ask you to take a test. You can work on this at your own pace; there is no time limit.

What does the test involve?

• You need to perform some basic calculations with numbers and variables.
• You need to solve some linear equations and apply mathematical functions.
• You will be given some graphical problems where you need to interpret functions or equations.

How can you prepare? If you have HAVO mathematics A or B, your knowledge should be sufficient to take the test. You can find online courses and resources to refresh this knowledge if needed. To feel more confident, you can practice the topics mentioned above beforehand.

The outcome of the mathematics test is not decisive, but it is important that you have a good understanding of basic mathematics. This foundation is necessary to start the study programme successfully. In the interview, you should be able to explain how you arrived at a particular answer.

We would like to know about your experience with mathematics and technology. It is not a problem if you do not have much experience yet, but if you are involved in specific hobbies, projects, have obtained certificates in programming, or have participated in extracurricular activities related to technology, this is definitely a plus. Additionally, we ask about your interest in the various roles within an AI project team. Which role appeals to you the most, and why? Finally, choose one assignment (out of five) and create a 5-minute presentation about it (in 4 slides).

Steps 3 and 4 together count for 60%.
