What I like about the programme is that you get to work directly for real companies. You work on different cases and other projects, gaining experience. The atmosphere is good and people are positive. So I was able to make an impact right from the start of my studies.

On discovery within your studies.

Student Ad-ICT

What I love about my studies at Fontys is that I can learn something from all parts of the ICT field. That way I can find out what suits me best. We often work in multidisciplinary groups so we can learn a lot from each other. You gain experience together and can help each other where necessary. The lecturers are easy to reach and helpful. So you are never alone.

Expand your knowledge in two years.

Bashar

Alumnus Ad-ICT

I wanted to expand my knowledge in ICT because I didn't feel I was ready to start working. Fontys works in a different way; you apply everything you learn directly in practice. We don't get tests, but work during a period on building a portfolio. Based on that, you are assessed.
