As a facility manager you are an inspiring leader and a sparring partner on a strategic level.
In four years, you will learn how to develop to an all-round Facility Manager. Where will you find your dream job? Think big, think anywhere, because our students work all over the world. But first things first. You do need to develop, in order to get there. We will help you learn the things you need to know, improve your skills and offer you training on-the-job. With our programme, we will provide you with all you need to get your future job!
You will benefit from the intensive 3-year programme in two respects: you gain one year in time, and save one year of tuition fees.
after vwo (pre-university): You will start in year 2 and also receive basic knowledge and skills from year 1.
after propaedeutic year (economic programme): You will start in year 2 and also receive basic knowledge and skills from year 1.
The differences between the 3- and 4-year programme can mainly be found in your first year of study. The 3-year programme starts with modules from the second year of the regular programme. To ensure that basic knowledge of the first year is covered, some additional classes are scheduled and relevant study material is made available to you. Furthermore you will be shortly introduced to the facility industry with practical components in the in-house training company Sibelicious.
For both the regular 4-year programme and the special 3-year programme a minimum of 60 EC’s need to be completed during the first year of study. Changing from one track to the other during the course of study is not possible.
