Programme

  • Phase 1 | You will be introduced to the IT world and gain a thorough knowledge of computer networks and operating systems. Python and Java are addressed, but also the network protocols and the different operating systems. Practice-based learning is key. You apply knowledge and skills in projects. You will grow in technical and soft skills.
  • Phase 2 | You choose a job profile in which you see yourself performing best. We offer projects that ensure your professional and personal growth in that profile. You supplement this with courses from the other graduation tracks. You take care of the communication with your customers and your own planning.
  • Phase 3 | You work entirely on a project basis. You no longer take courses but acquire all your skills by carrying out projects for real clients. In this third year, we also make sure that your projects really bring you out of your shell so that you can excel! You will conclude with an internship period.

This programme offers a personalised programme for a February start date but does not guarantee a 6-semester (3-year) study path.  Please contact the programme manager to check the posibilities.
