Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Exceeded expectations"
I was sceptical before starting — now I'd recommend it to anyone. The best part: the course strikes a good balance between theory and practical application. If I'm honest, accommodation allocation was stressful in the first year. On the city — everything works — public transport, cycling, healthcare, admin. Overall, if you're considering ICT: Software Engineering at Saxion Hogeschool, I'd say go for it.
"Solid, with caveats"
There's a lot to love, but it's not without its flaws. The best part: the career fair connections with top tech employers are genuinely valuable. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city — English is universal; you don't need Dutch for the first year. Overall, if you're considering ICT: Software Engineering at Saxion Hogeschool, I'd say go for it.
"Good but not perfect"
Overall a solid programme but worth going in with open eyes. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, a few modules feel under-resourced compared to the flagship ones. On the city — English is universal; you don't need Dutch for the first year. Overall, if you're considering ICT: Software Engineering at Saxion Hogeschool, I'd say go for it.
