ICT in Business

De master ICT in Business richt zich op een centraal thema: het op één lijn brengen van ICT en management. De studenten die instromen in dit programma nemen een solide basis van informaticakennis mee uit hun bachelor, en bouwen hierop verder met concepten en methodieken uit het management.

The Master’s in ICT in Business aims at providing a deeper understanding of the issues, challenges and opportunities engendered by the rapid changes in information and communication technology (ICT) and its applications over recent years. These changes have caused major changes for individuals, organisations and industries.

The internet, and information systems and communication technology in general, have radically impacted our personal and professional lives. Communication technology has challenged our thinking on physical, geographical and industry boundaries, on distance, speed and communication, on how we live, work, learn, communicate and play. New business models have emerged, as have new types of entrepreneurship and new forms of leadership.
