Applied Computer Science

The course in brief

Your first two years combine a thorough grounding in programming, artificial intelligence, data science, networks, systems and hardware.

From day one, you learn to apply this knowledge in our integration projects, under the guidance of expert mentors. Typically, these focus on socially-relevant themes giving you the chance to innovate while delivering sustainable solutions.

Our company simulation equips you in leadership, critical thinking and intercultural communication skills. You start out as a junior professional, working your way up to the board of directors by your final year.

A focus on future technologies in the third year gives you an insight into the latest IT developments. You are now fully prepared for your internship. Step out with confidence. You will spend the next eight weeks working for an international company – either in Belgium or abroad.

Requirements

• The course is taught in English, so a good level of language proficiency is required.
• You hold a secondary education certificate that grants access to a comparable higher education degree programme in the country it was granted.
• An open mind, strong motivation and a goal-oriented approach.
• Curiosity, with a readiness to explore, a desire to use your talents as well as perform as part of an international team.

After graduation

This new programme is modelled on our existing Dutch-language bachelor’s degree which has an impressive employment record among graduates. Experience has taught us that our graduate profile is actively sought after by recruiters.

Our programme is designed to get you ready for work. We help to train you as a full stack developer who can take on projects in artificial intelligence, data management, front end and back end. This skillset is sought by a wide range of sectors.
