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
The focus is hybrid intelligence: AI that works with people, and is designed to be effective, trustworthy and socially responsible. Year one builds computational thinking and how AI interacts with people; year two applies this to real cases, such as programming a robot for a real environment or using AI for challenges in healthcare and law. Electives let you lean toward the social side of AI or toward technical depth in algorithms, data and computer science. In year three you take a minor, which can be abroad, and write a bachelor's thesis. Graduates work as software developers, data scientists, machine learning engineers or analysts, or continue to a master's in AI.
