Join us on 30 January at the Open Day in Groningen to discover whether Data Science & Society is the right fit for you.

About the programme

In Data Science & Society you go beyond coding and data analysis: you learn what data really means. That way, you see the whole picture.

You combine technology with ethics and law, so you don’t just understand AI, you can also think along about what’s right for society.

You work on projects about algorithms, misinformation and privacy & data protection, building skills that are in high demand.
