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.

Samuil

Student Bachelor ICT

Currently, I am doing an internship at ASML as a Virtual Infrastructure Architect - Intern. My current job requires a lot of problem-solving skills and good knowledge of networking. I have long dreamed of working in the military and/or a large international bank. Those are institutions/facilities with the best cyber security practices and knowledge in the world right now

I learned a lot in working professionally in a team.
