Programme director Computer Science

Not everyone who is good at computer science wants to teach it. And not everyone who teaches it wants to shape it. If you do, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.

We are the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE) at Maastricht University, the youngest science faculty in the Netherlands. Since our founding in 2018, we’ve grown into a community of more than 3,800 students and 500 staff members, spread across four cities in Limburg. We are ambitious, committed to both our education and research and just a little bit rebellious.
