Data Science for the Life Sciences

The Data Science for the Life Sciences minor program is designed for students in life sciences who want to enhance their digital skills for research and professional practice. This program focuses on acquiring and developing the digital tools essential for handling large datasets and solving modern biomedical problems. You will gain experience with bioinformatics, genome sequencing, data processing, analysis, visualization, database technology, and basic programming. Through practical projects, you will learn to apply these tools, for example, by analyzing patient DNA to identify genetic variations linked to diseases or using the R programming language to conduct digital experiments and analyze gene expression data. Upon completion, you will possess foundational skills for independent data processing. This program is taught in English and offers a semester of theoretical knowledge and project work. It provides a solid understanding of diagnostic genome analysis and transcriptomics, equipping you with a bioinformatics toolbox for effective data management in biomedical sciences within an international learning environment.

Design

Design Minor

This Design minor program, offered at Hanze University of Applied Sciences through the Minerva Art Academy, is designed for Bachelor's level students interested in a study abroad experience within a vibrant artistic community. You will be integrated into a second-year Design group, becoming part of the regular student body. The program is taught entirely in English and focuses on allowing pro-active art students to deepen their intellectual and artistic development. The minor is an elective course, meaning you can choose it based on your personal interests and objectives from a wide range of design disciplines. The program is structured around the semester system, with one semester equating to a maximum of 30 ECTS credits. Assessment occurs at the end of each semester, with courses graded as either a pass (voldoende) or fail (onvoldoende).

Design, Art and Technology Minor

The Design, Art and Technology (DAT) minor, offered by Minerva Art Academy, brings together students from diverse disciplines to create projects that explore the intersection of art, design, and technology. This interdisciplinary program focuses on artistic technology research, encouraging students to critically engage with the societal changes driven by technological advancements. You'll develop both artistic and technical skills, fostering critical thinking about our rapidly evolving technological landscape and the use of digital techniques. The minor is ideal for students eager to "do stuff," connect different fields, and create new realities. This minor emphasizes hands-on learning and experimentation. The program is structured into five classes, starting with foundational technical skills, moving to experimentation and skill refinement, then a development phase for your own projects, followed by a building period. The final four weeks are dedicated to finalizing projects, which may be presented individually or in groups, depending on the progress made during the minor. The goal is to equip you with the necessary abilities to reflect on and utilize new technologies in creative and critical ways.

Fine Art Exchange Programme

The Fine Art exchange programme at Minerva Art Academy offers proactive art students the opportunity to immerse themselves in a vibrant artistic community.

This programme is designed to provide ample opportunities for intellectual and artistic development, allowing students to delve deeper into their creative practice. The modules offered are described in the ECTS course catalogue, and assessments are typically a Pass or Fail at the end of each semester, with no numerical grades awarded.
