I am a second-year IT student in Emmen. In my opinion, this study program is well-organized and has well-planned content. In the first year alone, you work on projects in a wide range of areas, from web development to database application management to BattleBots. The variety of projects is impressive, and you also get to learn Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and other languages.
In the second year, you get the opportunity to work on projects with actual external clients, which I really appreciate. It makes the learning process very hands-on and gives you valuable real-world experience.
One thing I would note is that sometimes not everything is perfectly organized. However, the lecturers and higher-ups are always willing to listen and are open to feedback, making adjustments as needed, which is great to see.
The difficulty of the program isn’t too high, either. I started with zero IT knowledge and have been managing just fine, so I believe there’s something for everyone here.
Overall, I’m glad I decided to join this program and attend this university. It’s been a nice experience so far!
