Applied Computer Science

Build the technology that runs the world

Do you want to build software that goes beyond the screen and runs on the devices, machines and systems that keep the world around us running? In the Bachelor Applied Computer Science, you develop the knowledge and skills to design, program and deploy smart electronic systems.

The four-year Applied Computer Science programme at Hanze provides a strong technical foundation while allowing you to shape your own path, supported by personal guidance throughout. You progress from core fundamentals to specialisation and, finally, to real-world professional practice.

What will you be studying?

In the first two years, you build a strong foundation at the intersection of software and hardware. You develop your programming and technical skills while exploring topics such as computer systems, networks, cybersecurity, AI and machine learning. Through hands-on projects, you apply your knowledge to real-world challenges and prepare to specialise in the direction that suits you best.
