We believe that the future calls for creative thinkers and digital makers – people who understand technology and can design smart solutions.
Help shape the technology of tomorrow
Microchips are everywhere. In your smartphone, laptop, car, games console and even in medical equipment. Our modern world simply wouldn’t function without chips. And it is right here, in the Brainport region, that the technology behind these chips is being developed.
This presents huge opportunities for technical and digital talent. For you, too.
At SintLucas, we prepare students for the creative and technological world of tomorrow. With the Software Development programme, you’ll learn the digital skills that are indispensable within the semiconductor sector — one of the fastest-growing high-tech sectors in the Netherlands.
What is Semicon?
Semicon is short for semiconductor, i.e. semiconductor technology. Semiconductors form the basis of microchips: the smart processing cores required for virtually all modern technology.
Developing and manufacturing chips requires complex machinery, software and digital systems. Companies in the Brainport region collaborate on this every day. Think of international players such as ASML and hundreds of innovative suppliers in the Eindhoven region.
The semiconductor sector is not just about technology and machinery. Software plays an equally important role.
Why is software indispensable in the semiconductor industry?
Behind every chip machine runs smart software. Software controls machines, processes data, monitors processes and ensures that everything works with micrometre precision.
That is why there is a great need for software developers who understand how technology, automation and innovation come together.
At SintLucas, you’ll learn how to develop software that makes a real-world impact. You’ll work on digital solutions, programme smart applications and develop technical skills that are perfectly suited to the high-tech sector.
Think, for example, of:
- software for smart machines and automation;
- the gaming industry
- user interfaces for technical systems;
- the ICT sector
- web design or the multimedia sector
Your future in a growing sector
Over the coming years, demand for technical and digital talent is set to grow significantly. In Brainport alone, thousands of additional skilled workers are needed to support the growth of the semiconductor industry.
This presents opportunities:
- plenty of job opportunities after your studies;
- working in an innovative and international environment;
- contributing to technology used worldwide;
- career progression opportunities within tech and software development.
With a Software Development degree from SintLucas, you’ll soon be able to work for high-tech companies, innovative start-ups or technology partners in the region.
