Descriere program
Why study Information Sciences at VU Amsterdam?
Information Sciences bridge the gap between Information and Communication Technology and its practical use in society. Are you more interested in the application of technology than technology for its own sake? Do you believe it’s important not to lose sight of the role people, organizations and cultures play in generating, processing, designing, modelling, communicating and sharing information? Are you fascinated by knowledge and innovation? If so, the Master’s programme in Information Sciences is an excellent choice for you.
STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAMME
The one-year Master’s in Information Sciences trains you to become an outstanding professional who – working independently or in a team – is able to solve problems with regard to the design, application and practical use of complex information systems in organizations. The first half of the semester consists of optional and compulsory courses offered by VU Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam. Both institutions offer five courses of six credits, and you will select a minimum of five courses from a total of ten. Topics range from e-business and visual analytics to courses on the social web and internet information. The full list of courses can be found online.
