Curious about Data Science & Society, but want to feel what it’s like first?
Choosing a degree is exciting and things may look great on paper, but you can only know what it's really like when you're part of it!
During our Student for a Day, you get the chance to experience it for yourself.
Sit in on a real class and get a feel for the atmosphere on our welcoming campus.
You’ll discover whether this study fits you, not just in content, but also in people and environment.
Highlights:
Sit in on a real DSS class
You join a regular class and follow a lecture with a case and see how data skills connect to ethics and real-world issues.
Feel the pace and level. No pressure to speak up, you can simply observe. If you have any, you’re welcome to ask your questions in class or afterwards.
You’ll leave with a clear sense of the teaching style and whether it fits you.
Campus tour
Tour our historic home in the heart of Leeuwarden. Think tall windows, a large staircase and spacious yet full of cosy study nooks.
We’ll show you where Data Science & Society happens day to day: lecture rooms, project spaces, the cafeteria and the student-favorite spots studying.
