In the first semester you follow courses and projects in our five profiles. You focus on basic ICT related subjects and more indepth in one of the five programmes. During this Associate Degree Programme (2 years) you will prepare yourself with the knowledge and skills required to succesfully execute a specific job of your choice.
From the second semester you choose one of these profiles: ICT & Business, ICT & Infrastructure, ICT & Media Design, ICT & Software Engineering or ICT & Technology. You will be placed together with Bachelor Students in a Demand Based Programme. The projects and Learning Outcomes are AD specific.
During your first semester it is possible to change your Associate Degree programme to the bachelor programme. Please contact Björn Hamels (Tilburg) or Stephan Vrijsen (Eindhoven) if you would like to change programmes.
In this semester you will join other students that choose the same profile as you did yourself. You will collaborate both with AD-students and Bachelor students in order to gain basic knowledge and skills regarding the study programme of your choice.
However, you focus on learning outcomes and your project that are AD specific. Also, you orientate on possible job descriptions that you are interested in. Therefore, you contact organizations, interview person(s) that can tell you more about the chosen job you’re interested in and you prepare a demo with regard to the job description.
In this semester you gain in depth knowledge and skills. You will collaborate both with AD-students and Bachelor students in order to gain basic knowledge and skills regarding the study programme of your choice. You focus on learning outcomes and your project that are AD specific. Also, you prepare yourself for graduation and will be looking for a company that provides a working space and assignment for you to graduate.
In this semester there are professional and job specific learning outcomes. You prepare to graduate and in this semester you will execute your graduation assignment. Your focus will be divided to 40% of gaining knowledge and skills in order to execute the job of your choice, and 60% will contain your graduation assignment that takes place within a company.
After graduation you have the option to start with work. But there is also the possibility to continue your studie as a bachelor. For more information contact Björn Hamels (Tilburg) or Stephan Vrijsen (Eindhoven).

In the full-time AD-study programme in the first semester you’ll find out which professional profile appeals best and where you true (ICT-)talents lie. Full-time education is offered in a demand based teaching method. In the first semester you are guided by a semester coach. Together with the semester coach you make the choice of the follow-up trajectory. As a AD-student you’ll follow the same education as the bachelor students during the first semester. In this case, you can, after obtaining the first semester, also choose to switch to the bachelor's degree programme (see also the image above).
You choose your professional profile in the first semester. This can be one of five professional profiles:
In the selected professional profile you then follow two thematic masters. During these two semesters you’ll delve into the chosen professional profile. You will also orientate on job profiles within the selected professional profile. Ultimately you choose the job profile that best suits your talents and interests.
Within the selected function profile, you will graduate in semester 4. The graduation semester has both a theoretical and a practical component. The theoretical component prepares you for work within the selected job profile. Within this job profile, you’ll carry out a practical assignment at a company. This practical assignment concludes with a thesis/portfolio and a graduation session in which you present and defend the practical assignment carried out.
FHICT offers you the possibility to enter the programme of the adjoining bachelor.
When you enter in semester 4 from the AD course you'll receive extra attention and guidance for the professional skills of the bachelor. At the end of semester 4, you'll demonstrate that you have achieved the Bachelor professional skills at the appropriate level.
