Why study Information Sciences in Nijmegen?
There is hardly a company in the world that doesn’t use ICT in some shape or form and many of them face problems in getting ICT to do what it’s supposed to do. So they turn to ICT technicians for advice. However, more often than not, technical problems are only the tip of the iceberg, and a broader perspective is needed to understand and solve them. This programme teaches you the broad theoretical foundations you will need in order to understand the technological aspect of any ICT project that may come your way, looking beyond technological concerns when tackling ICT-related problems in practice. It builds on expertise in the field of information architecture, systems theory, and the quality and security of information systems.
This programme is suited for both students with a technological background with management ambitions, as those with a management background and a strong affinity with technology wanting to specialise in ICT.
