Hello everyone, I'm Dimitrios Katsantonis from Greece. I'm currently a first-year master's student in Computer Science, specializing in Artificial Intelligence. I chose this program to deepen my knowledge of IT and AI, and to pursue a career in the field of AI, which has become my primary focus throughout my studies. I'm excited to explore how this cutting-edge technology can shape the future.
Why the University of Twente?
From the beginning, I intended to pursue a bachelor's degree with a focus on IT, followed by a more specialized and technical master's program shaped by my academic interests and course choices. What makes the University of Twente stand out is its strong emphasis on high-tech innovation and its smart campus, where students engage in real-world projects in fields like robotics, data science, and cybersecurity. The university's cutting-edge labs and facilities truly captured my interest.
Why the NETHERLANDS
After graduating from a French school, I had the choice to pursue my studies in France or another country in Europe. I was first considering the Netherlands because of its excellent educational system, which is home to some of the top universities in the world, as well as its generally inexpensive tuition and student life. I did a lot of research in the past, mostly in the EU, and discovered that Dutch institutions often provided a greater variety of programmes taught in English, which attracted me to study there.
