What do you like about the programme/specialisation and why? How has the programme/specialisation challenged you (in relation to your previous education)?
What I liked about the programme was that after my Bachelor's in Business Administration, I could challenge myself in a completely new field. It felt kind of sufficient when it came to learning more about business administration, and I was not sure which Master's I should choose. This was - for me - the perfect balance in learning more within the field of business administration, while expanding your knowledge in a new field. Adding to that, it was challenging (especially the security course), because of the change of faculty. They do speak a different 'language' here, especially when it comes to the professional jargon. I found that very hard.
What do you think about the atmosphere in class?
I really appreciate the relationship between students and teachers here. I really do feel seen, especially compared to my Bachelor's in Business Administration. People know your name, and if you ask a question, it is rewarded as 'critical thinking' instead of you being a burden for even asking a question.
What do you find most challenging in your Master’s (specialisation)? Have you encountered any obstacles?
Even though it sounded nice that the programme only lasts a year, I might preferred it to be two, to even learn more. Especially the first semester is pretty packed.
Are you currently doing an internship? Or what is your thesis about?
My thesis is about the potential use of Artificial Intelligence and personal Big Data in shared decision making within healthcare.
Why do you think it is important that there are people with this degree? What are your plans once you have received your Master's degree?
I think it is important that there are people with this degree, because there is a big difference in the people who study Computing Sciences and who study Business Administration (neither of them are better than the other), but it shows the need that there needs to be some way of 'translating' between the two. Furthermore, IT and AI are hot topics right now, and it most likely will be, and without this degree I would have gotten into a (high) position in a company, without the ability to do something with this.
