Voices about the degree programme

IT is always equated with nerds and complex lines of code. But of course that's not the case, the profession is very diverse. I see very good opportunities in this field to gain a foothold in the professional world, to bring a little more female content into the still very male IT sector. I am definitely looking forward to tackling challenges in the IT environment with the knowledge I gained during my studies.
