Graduation in Applied AI

The capstone: independently investigating and solving an AI problem at HBO bachelor's level.

Why this module

Why this matters

The graduation project is the proof of competence: you demonstrate that you can independently investigate a real-world problem, deliver a solution and justify every choice.

You graduate within your own profile — Gen AI Makers or AI Classic Makers — and preferably on a problem from your own organisation, so that your graduation project delivers direct value to your employer.

Content

How you work

Learning alongside your job

You take this module the way you take the whole programme: classes every other week on Friday and Saturday, with a study load of 15–20 hours per week, of which 10–15 hours are self-study. The teaching is a mix of classroom lessons, practice-based learning, blended learning and working groups or study teams — taught by lecturers who practise the profession themselves every day.

You conclude each theme with a professional product or a technical solution based on a real situation in your own work, which you discuss in an assessment with the lecturer. This way your portfolio grows with real work — and your employer benefits directly.

After graduating you hold the BSc title and are a fully-fledged conversation partner on the responsible adoption of AI.
