What do you like about the programme/specialisation and why? How has the programme/specialisation challenged you (in relation to your previous education)?
The Information Sciences Master's offers a small-scale and personal learning environment, where you learn to understand the link between IT and business. This prepares you well for a future in which this combination will become increasingly important.
What do you think about the atmosphere in class?
I experienced the atmosphere as very open and involved. Because the programme is small-scale, there is plenty of room for personal attention and cooperation.
What do you find most challenging in your Master’s (specialisation)? Have you encountered any obstacles?
The broad job opportunities after the Master's are a great advantage, but can also feel overwhelming. Fortunately, you get good guidance to discover what really suits you.
Are you currently doing an internship? Or what is your thesis about?
There are many opportunities to write your thesis at a company, depending on your interests. I am writing my thesis at KPMG, where I not only gain substantive knowledge about governance, risk and compliance of technology, but also learn a lot about soft skills.
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?
There is a high demand for professionals who understand both IT and business administration and can connect these worlds. I myself want to build that bridge and deal with technological issues at an organisational level.
