    Not an official deadline. With a Dutch address you log in with DigiD, which the government says takes about five days. Without one you upload a scan or photo of your passport or EU identity card and Studielink verifies it automatically. Either way, do it well before 15 January.

What it is

This is a joint programme of Eindhoven and Tilburg, so you attend classes at both universities. It is organised in six learning lines: law and ethics, computer science, business, data analytics, data challenges and cognitive science, with courses in statistics, programming, data mining and business analytics. In the data challenges line, teams solve real problems using large data sets from different fields. Electives let you aim for a master's, for example through packages in advanced data science or finance and risk, or minors in business and entrepreneurship or cognitive science and AI. The programme ends with a Bachelor End Project and leads to master's degrees in data science, business analytics or marketing analytics.
