The university has 14 institutes, including engineering, business, health, and automotive, and 35,000 students. The university aims to equip students to thrive in a digital future, recognizing the importance of data literacy in modern businesses. The university is committed to providing students with access to data analytics software and a community of experts, and to giving students practical experience on tools and processes common in the corporate world.
The Challenge
HAN University of Applied Sciences, located in Arnhem and Nijmegen, the Netherlands, wanted to improve the data literacy of its students. The university recognized the importance of equipping students with the ability to understand and exploit data, given the increasing data generation in modern businesses. However, the university faced challenges in providing students with access to data analytics software and a community of experts. They also wanted students to gain practical experience on tools and processes common in the corporate world. The university was looking for a solution that would be cost-effective, given the tight budgets universities often have to work within.
The Solution
HAN University of Applied Sciences adopted the Qlik Academic Program in 2018. The program, which is free, provides access to Qlik software and the Qlik Continuous Classroom online learning curriculum. It also provides Qlik specific training and a product-agnostic data analytics curriculum, featuring lecture notes, on-demand videos, handouts, activities, and real-world, interactive business use cases. There is also a forum for professors and students to access resources, collaborate with others, and share experiences. Students can earn two different qualifications in Qlik Sense plus certifications in data literacy and data analytics. They receive a printable certificate and a digital badge for each, to share on resumes and social media.
