Application PDEng Data Science


​Candidates can enter the PDEng program Data Science after having successfully passed the full admission procedure. The procedure has three steps and involves a thorough assessment by means of a Data Challenge Week and an application interview. Learn more...

The first step is to provide the necessary information for the program management to assess your eligibility for the program.

Important note
Due to the uncertain situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic we change our assessment procedure until further notice. The most important change is that the assessment will take place entirely online. Next online Data Challenge Week (DCW) takes place from September 27th up to and including October 2nd, 2020. The online DCW consists of a 4-day online teamwork assessment concluded with an online interview. Due to the online character of the next Data Challenge Week combined with the uncertain international travel regulations, we give priority to applicants that currently live in the Netherlands or in countries close to the Netherlands. We hope this situation will be over soon so our program can revert to its normal assessment procedure. 

Note: 
The registration for the data challenge week of September is closed. If you want to apply for the PDEng DS program, please send in your application from November 2020 to January 2021!
