On Friday 21 April, six participants received their Nedap University certificates.
They receive this certificate after successfully completing a 1.5-year programme, in which they gain extensive knowledge of software development that will benefit them throughout their careers.
The University of Twente, particularly the faculty of EEMCS, has been admitting Nedap University students since 2016, with the aim of teaching them new skills as software developers. In this programme, participants go through a steep learning curve.
The final certificate was presented by Mariëlle Stoelinga, Director Life Long Learning (LLL) of the EEMCS faculty.
