Introduction

Binge watching a series on Netflix, use WhatsApp or listening to Spotify? This is all possible thanks to IT!

Making developments possible

We live in a connected world in which physical objects are massively linked to the internet. Think of a security camera that sends a message to your smartphone when a person walks through your garden. Or AI (artificial intelligence), where a self-learning algorithm learns whether it is safe to cross a street. IT is the field that makes these developments possible and creates them.

Discover which direction suits you best: technical or business

IT often involves programming and system management. But it is so much more than that. Brainstorming about a good software solution for a customer, coming up with a cloud solution, building a new application, collecting and interpreting data to advise a company or tackling cyber security. The possibilities are endless. Whether you want to develop in the direction of the business side or the technical side. In the course of your studies we will help you to discover which direction suits you best and we teach you everything about the latest technologies and trends.

Working in multidisciplinary teams

In addition to developing your own skills, you will often work in multidisciplinary teams. We do this in an agile way. This means not working according to just one described perfect approach. It does mean meeting your customer demand and being able to solve his/her problem in a fast, flexible and creative way together with your team. In precisely the same way as when you join the job market. You not only consider your projects, but also your own development as a professional.

Would you like to work in one of the most innovative and leading sectors of this moment? And do you get a kick out of technology, innovation, creativity and would you like to invent, develop or program things? Then choose for Information and Communication Technology at HZ!

Study tracks

This programme offers three different study tracks:

Business IT Consultant (BIC)

You bridge the gap between IT technology, employees and organisations. You map out wishes and requirements, give direction to what is needed and transfer this to the specialists who build the software. You do this by thinking in terms of both technology and business. You are able to understand, fathom and analyze organizations and people. And you can bring all of this together in improvement proposals, in line with your vision and the vision of a company. For example, you help a company to change in line with new, digital trends. Or you help people with the implementation of automation.

Software Engineer (SE)

You design and develop appropriate software. Of course, you do this in accordance with the wishes of the customer or the company you work for. You learn programming at the highest level, in different programming languages and according to the latest technologies. You know how to use your knowledge, techniques and skills in the field of software in such a way that you always know how to find a suitable solution.

Data Scientist (DS)

We all produce enormous amounts of data every day. This data is a wealth of information for companies and organizations. As a Data Scientist you convert this data into valuable insights for companies and organisations. Whatever wish or question your customer has, you can convert it into the information they need. Whether it concerns predicting opportunities in the market; saving or earning money, making a work process more efficient or detecting fraud. Or predicting the next flu wave. The possibilities of Data Science are endless. To draw the right conclusions, you use different methods, processes and systems, such as machine learning (development of algorithms and techniques with which computers can learn from data and thereby predict/discover connections). These techniques (also called artificial intelligence or AI) are very fast. We therefore teach you to estimate whether these relationships and predictions are logical and why. As a result you not only have a good knowledge of IT, but you are also able to uncover the information requirement and convert it into solid advice.
