The supervision you get from lecturers is excellent, they really keep a close eye on everyone's progress. If it becomes clear that someone is lagging behind, they’ll offer additional coaching.Willem Visscher, alumni Software Engineering
After graduation
Good software programmers are generally in high demand in both industry and research. And apart from strong programming skills, graduates have an in-depth understanding of all practical, theoretical, technology- and human-oriented aspects of software engineering, which allows them to objectively and effectively assess both their own work and that of others and to convincingly argue their point of view.
