Understanding business challenges and using IT and AI to design and build innovative digital solutions.
How can companies make the most of the growing possibilities of digitisation, automation, big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies? How can you use data and AI to make better decisions, automate processes and create smarter ways of working? And how do you make sure these technologies actually solve a problem, are easy to use and create value for an organisation? You will learn to turn these challenges into solutions yourself, by analysing problems, designing systems and building digital and AI driven applications.
AI is changing how organisations work and innovate. That makes BIT more important than ever. You learn to turn technological possibilities into solutions that fit real business needs. You also work with predictive analytics and learn how to use AI responsibly.
You explore AI in business and IT, from data driven decision making to business process automation with AI. And you do not just learn about AI: you use it yourself Throughout the programme, you will work on real-world projects that put these skills into practice. For example:
This Bachelor’s will help you become a specialist in designing information systems for business purposes. That means you will learn to speak the languages of IT specialists and managers alike; only with an understanding of both business and computer science, you can solve complex automation problems and develop smarter processes. This is a unique and valuable position in today’s fast-changing, digital market, because with your knowledge about both fields, you can make connections others might miss. In every course you follow, you will integrate both perspectives – just as they are in today’s business world. After graduating, you will be able to translate leadership and business ambitions into system requirements and performance-enhancing IT architecture, which you can design and build yourself – with or without the involvement of developers. In short: with your unique profile of expertise, you will be ready to help businesses become more successful and future-proof!
In this programme, you will develop expertise in software development, data, AI, information systems and business innovation. From day one, you will apply your knowledge in realistic projects inspired by organisations such as ASML, Nedap, and Somtoday.
Working in project teams, you will analyse business challenges, design digital and AI-driven solutions, build prototypes, and advise organisations on how technology can create value. This hands-on approach gives you valuable experience long before you graduate.
