What is a computer without good software? Really nothing!
In the study program ICT & Software everything is about learining how to make software programmes. It is about efficient and safe storage, exchange and processing of information. You learn how to analyze, what information is needed where and how this information is processed and dealt with. Of course, you need to take care of the client’s requirements. They will have to work with the software you will develop for them! In your study program the focus will be on designing and building software. It’s up to you whether you want to specialize on the technical software or on software for non-technical processes. Technical software, for example, deals with the control of machines. Examples of software for non-technical processes are the support of a web store, a game or a student administration.
This 4- year Bachelor programme leads to the international Bachelor degree in ICT. Our students are trained to become all-round IT-experts in software engineering. With the knowledge and skills collected at Fontys University students can work as high-level engineers and managers in the IT sector.
In our University of Appied Sciences you will get a combination of theoretical subjects and practical training. This practical training is very important, that is why we offer 2 semesters in which you join an international oriented company in the Netherlands where you apply your knowledge. These semesters are placed in the third year (internship) and in the fourth year (graduation project).
