Question 11

Why do I need at least a bachelor's degree?

Accepted Answer

Our experience has shown that a minimum of a bachelor's degree is required to complete our Alyx Program. Many elements of our programme require skills learned at university. We therefore want you to have a degree to ensure successful completion of your training and placement with your partner company.

Question 12

Why do I need B1 level of Dutch?

Accepted Answer

Although IT is a very international field and Alyx itself has an international staff, the reality is that your chances of finding a partner company are higher with a basic knowledge of Dutch. To avoid disappointment, we have decided to require at least B1 level Dutch as a prerequisite for a smoother integration and better chances.
