Mix of theory and practice
The programme offers a balanced mix of theory and practice. Most courses include exercise classes in which students practice
theory. For instance, they solve mathematical problems, or practice with programming assignments. The exercise classes take place in groups of 25 to 30 students and are led by student-assistants or more experienced teaching-assistants under supervision of the course lecturer. Assignments will be either individual or in groups of two or three students.
Job
What is Jobs favourite course?
'My favorite course is Reinforcement Learning. Reinforcement learning falls under the category of machine learning. The computer develops a self-learning capability so that it can eventually discover the ideal behavior for the best achievable performance. The subject is specific and I understand the technology behind it well.
Academic skills
The curriculum supports a range of general academic and professional skills: analytical skills, empirical methods, modelling, collaboration, written and oral communication, argumentation and presentation, covered in the continuous research skills learning trajectory from the first to the third year.
