Study materials
Both on and off campus you will use your computer a lot. For some specific activities we have so-called innovationlabs: Gameslab, Securitylab, Accenturelab, Multimedia kitchen and Virtual Reality lab. You can work there with advanced, state of the art technology. Besides that, every student is obliged to have and to use their own laptop. We made sure we have:
- A lot of power sockets to plug in your laptop;
- Most of the needed software applications, available for free through surfspot.nl (see information below);
- Many network connections so you can use a network cable for fast internet connection;
- Wireless internet throughout the whole building.
Laptop requirements
At the beginning of the course, the most recent laptop is sufficient. So if you already own a laptop, you can probably just use it. If you don't have a laptop yet, take a quick look below. However, it is possible that a heavier laptop may become necessary during the course of the programme. This depends on your profile and/or specialisation, which you will follow in the main phase (from year 2). We do not recommend laptops, intended for online use, such as Chromebook or MacBook air, because they do not have enough hard disk space or cannot run the appropriate software.
Operating system
Keep in mind that Apple's new M1 processor cannot yet run all the necessary software and future support for it is still unknown. In fact, you are going to have to run a virtual machine at the beginning of your training and support for this is still limited. We recommend Windows 10 (or newer) as an operating system, which will run most of the software you will need during your training. However, you can also run Linux or Mac OS, you will probably run into some problems or virtualisation or installation of Windows may be necessary.
Below are the minimum requirements for your laptop.
Windows 10
- Processor: Intel Core i5 / AMD Ryzen 5
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Hard disk space: 128 GB Disk space
- Graphics hardware: Min. 128 MB of graphics memory
- Number of USB ports: 2
- Display: Screen resolution of 1280 x 768
- Display: 14 inches
- Browser: Most recent version of Edge, Chrome or Firefox
MacOS
- Processor: Intel processor
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Hard disk space: 128 GB disk space
- Graphics hardware: Min. 128 MB graphics memory
- Number of USB ports: 2
- Display: Screen resolution of 1280 x 800
- Display: 14 inches
- Browser: Most recent version of Safari, Chrome or Firefox
Video card
A dedicated video card may come in handy, or even necessary, at a later stage of the programme. For the ICT & Media Design profile and the ICT & Game Design and Technology specialisation, these cards are highly recommended, as this may involve running some heavier graphics programmes such as Maya, Blender or Unity. For example, Blender recommends a video card with at least 4 GB of VRAM and 16 GB of system memory (RAM). Should you buy a laptop with only usb C connections, always buy a hub with at least 1 usb A port (preferably 4 or more) and 1 HDMI connection.
Additional costs
It is possible that you will need some small computer supplies or hardware after you started your study programme. Most of the time, this will only be a small amount of money.
Software deals for education
SURFspot is the ultimate non-profit ICT online store. SURFspot offers an educational discount on software, hardware and online educational resources.

Go to SURFspot.nl and log in using your Fontys account (PCN@student.fontys.nl + password)
