Introduction
You get to make use of the latest technology, including a Microsoft Surface Hub, Virtual Reality equipment, robots and 3D printers, all readily available at the Internet of Things Lab. One of this course's unique features is the Minor Certified Ethical Hacking, which is the only one of its kind in Europe.
The curriculum is based on our Design Based Education principles. This means you will work on practical assignments in small groups and can pursue your own interests while working on real-life cases. We are well-connected with many professional companies where students can do their internships, such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, ING Group and ABN AMRO.
This course opens up a world of opportunities. Information Technology graduates get to choose where they want to work. Thanks to the increasing importance of automation and digitisation, you will be able to pursue your field of interest, be it as a software engineer, developer, IT consultant, or a Certified Ethical Hacker.
