Persons who have acquired a Bachelor ICT degree and at least three years of working experience, can join the Master of Science programme ICT in Business. This programme is developed especially for those students who can not participate in daytime courses; most of the courses will take place in the evenings. The programme strongly appeals to self-efficacy.
This programme offers various specialisation courses. Whether a specialisation course will take place or not, depends upon the number of participants.
