Studying Computing Science at the University of Groningen has been a fascinating journey. When I first started, I was mainly interested in programming, as I had some prior experience and enjoyed it immensely. However, I soon discovered that Computing Science has so much more to offer. The programme provides a great balance between theoretical knowledge and practical applications, which is perfect for someone like me who enjoys problem-solving but also wants to make a real-world impact.One of the things that surprised me about the programme is how diverse it is... Currently, I am studying signal processing and computer graphics, and I find both topics fascinating. They both have clear connections to the real world and are filled with problems that can be practically applied once solved.The University of Groningen also provides ample opportunities to combine Computing Science with other subjects, such as the minor. The programme's multidisciplinary character, together with its interaction with the Bernoulli Institute, make it stand out from other programmes. Moreover, the world-class facilities for high-performance computing and visualization make it an excellent environment for students who want to work on cutting-edge projects.Personally, I have really enjoyed my time at the University of Groningen. I work part-time at a web development company next to my studies, which allows me to put what I have learned into practice. Furthermore, I still have enough time left for my hobbies and fun activities. Although I will not be pursuing a Master's degree, I feel that the skills I have learned will be invaluable in my future career. Overall, I highly recommend the Computing Science programme at the University of Groningen to anyone who is interested in solving problems and making a real-world impact through technology.
