  - Artificial Intelligence: dive deeper into object-oriented programming. 
  - Programming: master languages like PHP, Java, WPF, ASP.Net MVC and Cordova.  
  - Process optimisation: upgrade business processes with new technologies. 
   
• Phase 3 | Unlock the power of data via data gathering, data management, visualisation and analysis tools, while exploring enterprise content management tools like SharePoint. And bring it all together in a multi-disciplinary project for a real customer.  

International internships

Broaden your horizons – literally – by studying a full year abroad or doing your internship within an international company. You’ll get to apply your skills in a different context and in a different language, while learning what it takes to find your own feet and make your own way. Besides that, studying abroad is simply an exhilarating experience and one that will add real value to your CV! 

We maintain close partnerships with universities of applied sciences in Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway and Finland where you can follow the first semester of phase three in English. 

You can also choose to do a full year in Finland or Switzerland as part of our double degree programme. So that when you finish your academic career, you’ll have degrees from Finland or Switzerland and Thomas More as well!

Please note: you can start this programme in September and February. If you start your studies in February, the duration of the course is 3,5 years.
