Location of Utrecht University
Typed functional programming languages allow for the development of robust, concise programs in a short amount of time. The key advantages are higher-order functions as an abstraction mechanism, and an advanced type system for safety and reusability. This course introduces Haskell, a state-of-the-art functional programming language, together with some of its theoretical background, such as typed lambda calculi, referential transparency, Damas-Milner type inference, and functional design patterns.
We will quickly move on to applications of functional programming, concentrating on topics such as language processing, building graphical user interfaces, networking, databases, and programming for the web. The goal of the course is not just to teach the programming language, but to learn about the Haskell community and to get hands-on experience by developing a project using Haskell in a team.
VENUE DESCRIPTION
Contents
The course takes 2 weeks, with 4 hours of lecture each day. The rest of the time is spent on programming projects. Students may propose a project they want to work on.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
More informationRequirements
Advanced bachelors / beginning masters with an interest in writing disciplined, robust programs. Knowledge of functional programming or Haskell in particular may be helpful, but is not expected or necessary. All that is required is curiosity and an open mind. Applicants should be proficient in English and will be subjected to a selection procedure. This course is also well-suited as an introduction to or preparation for our MSc program Software Technology. (Maximum number of participants: 25.)
Please indicate in your motivation what your current Haskell skills (none, starting, advanced, expert) are and what you expect to learn, so we can decide about the different lecturing tracks.
Additional Requirements

Accreditation
In the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 issues of Elsevier magazine’s extensive survey among Dutch institutes of higher education, students rated UCU as the best university college in the country.
In the 2010 national student survey (Nationale Studentenenquete or NSE) UCU ranked highest among Utrecht University's bachelor programs.
The 2011 Academic Ranking of World Universities conducted by Shanghai University ranks Utrecht University as #1 in the Netherlands, #12 in Europe and #48 in the world. The research focused Shanghai ranking is an influential index of universities worldwide.
UCU is fully accredited and internationally evaluated as ‘excellent’ on ‘level achieved’ and ‘quality of education’ by a joint commission consisting of a council from QANU - an independent assessor of higher education programs in Holland - and delegates from the American Higher Learning Commission.
