Hanze UAS's HBO-ICT programme trains students to become ICT professionals capable of taking on a specialist role based on their solid grounding in ICT. These professionals can be rapidly and effectively deployed within the professional field. The curriculum is designed to ensure a balance between this solid grounding and ongoing development. We offer our students a solid basis of knowledge in combination with an inquisitive 8 mindset, ensuring that they have the desire and ability to keep up with the latest developments after graduation. In addition to expertise, the business community needs ICT professionals with a broad range of professional skills. In order to meet this need, the degree programme has added two activities to the HBO-ICT model: research and communication. The high degree of integration between devices, information systems and organisations necessitates professionals with a critical and inquisitive mindset and a focus on collaboration.
