The first half of the third year is for further personal development in a direction of your own choice. It serves e.g. to prepare for a Master’s programme. But you can also opt e.g. for a semester of study abroad. This semester is called “profileringsruimte” in Dutch, i.e. free space to establish a profile.

In the second half of the third year you choose electives, aimed at human technology interaction and ethics and professional conduct. The last quarter of the final year is for the Bachelor’s graduation project.
