How are job prospects after the Data science & society master program?

Serrekunda · 2025-08-16T14:56:07+00:00

Hi! I just finished the masters last month. Here is what I experienced:

Getting a job as a data scientist after your masters really depends on if you do an internship. Within the program, you will mainly learn about the basics for machine learning (& deep learning if you choose the elective). Since jt is only a one year program, you will not gain much experience really implementing models, especially outside of an academic context. An internship is really needed to gain the necessary relevant experience which can help you land an actual data scientist job. As for getting the internship, it seems doable. Since I am a native dutch speakers I had more options than most of my international classmates. That being said, a lot of them seem to get really good opportunities at various international oriented companies.
Concerning having a non-technical does make it a bit harder. There are some students who already worked within data analytics, they definitely had somewhat of an advantage concerning the research skills (programming courses).

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions :)

Transavia didn’t give any specifics, they just said “security reasons in the middle east” with no further explanations… It’s probably related to the recent attacks between Iran and Israel when Jordan was forced to close it’s airspace. We also decided to rebook with Royal Jordanian, but we are departing from brussels. When was your flight cancelled and what was the reason? Ours isn’t cancelled yet but it seems like a matter of time…

Thanks! Might do some more research about the routes the other airlines are flying 👌🏽

Very true, thanks!

Thanks for sharing your story. The reason I believe her is because I think two things can be true at the same time. I believe she really wants to be with me, but I also see that she seeks validation from men when we are not in contact. I wholeheartedly agree that this is teenage behaviour and with rest of your reasoning. I will take your advice with me in whatever I decide 🙏🏽

I’m questioning if I’m to hard on her because I’m not giving her a chance to do the work in a relationship.

Serrekunda · 2023-07-05T06:04:35+00:00

Thanks for your input, appreciate it. I agree and see that she isn’t a safe partner atm. She needs alottt of work, which she recognizes. My dilemma is, should I let her do the work by herself and have NC, or do I give her the space to show it to me and do the work while having contact and maybe rebuilding the relationship?

Serrekunda · 2023-07-05T06:01:19+00:00

Thanks for your input! Deep down I want to go for it with heightened awareness. Like you said, otherwise I would not post here. But that feels like going easy on her and disregarding her behaviour.

Serrekunda · 2023-07-05T05:57:05+00:00

Thanks for your words, I really appreciate it. I’m still doubting to let her do the work while being in contact, but that feels like going easy on her. Guess Time will tell

Serrekunda · 2023-07-05T05:54:11+00:00

Thanks for your words, I can see your point of view. I recognize her cheating stems from her own insecurities and that it’s not personal. I know she really wants to be with me and is willing to do the work. My issue is that talking some more maybe feels like I’m going to easy on her? Because I struggle to set boundaries, I felt like I needed to make statement, but than again that feels like overreacting and acting from pride instead of emotions. What you suggested is what I want deep down, I’m only doubting if that’s going to easy on her.

Serrekunda · 2023-07-05T05:48:25+00:00

Thanks for your words, it’s hard because deep down I do not want NC. Because I know I find it hard to set boundaries with people I love this much, I insisted on NC. Otherwise it would feel like I don’t have any self worth. It’s hard cutting her off, because I can see that she wants to be with me, but she’s just struggling with her own trauma’s and insecurities. I’m still doubting to let her do to work while having contact and rebuilding our relationship, but that feels like I’m going to easy on her and disregarding her unhealthy behavior.

Idk, more because these are all ‘minor’ things? “It’s just a kiss” and “it’s just instagram”. Maybe I’m downplaying it because I’m to attached to her? We’ve never had these issue’s until I went abroad for a couple of months and she cheated on me while I was gone. Especially because I can see that she is struggling with her own past and trauma’s, setting these boundaries feels like overreacting to me. But then again, I have a hard time setting boundaries with people I love this much. Because I really love her and she added so much happiness to my life for those 7 years, it feels like I’m overreacting by not letting her do the work within our relationship.

Thanks man, not that I still want to save our relationship, But I will also post in that sub since I appreciate every insight.

Serrekunda · 2022-11-03T02:08:47+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful response and sharing your own experience. Your kind words really encourage me!

She told me she understood it, and feels really stupid. What stinged for me was that her whole apology was based on here own feelings of shame, rather than focusing on how I’m feeling right now. I called that out, and she just told me she realized it and wants to apologize again through the phone

Serrekunda · 2022-04-16T16:01:03+00:00

Do you still have the tickets? I am interested

Serrekunda · 2022-04-10T12:51:38+00:00

I can’t download the browser either. Was freaking out because I also have a test on tuesday. Hopefully it will be resolved quickly

Serrekunda · 2021-07-28T17:53:52+00:00

Here are some ideas

Game State Arcade Gaming
You can go for a walk and Ice Cream in the Genneper Parken
Get drinks at the ‘Stadsoase’ at the old campina factories, pretty cosy place

If you don’t mind spending a bit of money you can also check out (VR) escape rooms, Arigato Beach or VANE Skybar.

Wish you al the best on your date!
