“Business IT in Applied Science university”

Boyan D

Belgium, Undergraduate
Computer Science / IT, 2021

Overall

Conforming to the reputation of Applied Science universities in the Netherlands, the Business, IT and Management (BITM) course at Hanze is fairly easy and straightforward. There are a wide variety of courses covering a range of subjects in the three areas (Business, Computer Science, and Management), with a big focus on the link between business and IT. Most of the faculty are friendly and helpful. A good stepping stone to more advanced studies for students with little prior experience in IT.

Pros

Wide variety of topics, friendly faculty, practical assignments, easy

Cons

None of the courses go too deep in the subject matter; very little focus on software and Computer Science

Final comments

Do not get stress at the beginig with all the assigments you have to deal with, just, be pacient and proactive. Be flexible with the rest of the members of you teamwork groups. You must be a tolerant person with other cultures, you will find out all we are human beings, and how a student from Russia can have a lot in commun with another student from other culture, in my case, from Spain.
