Over 70 graduates joined us to celebrate completing the program in the past academic year. Together with their families and friends, we recognized their achievements in this significant milestone. The exceptional Marijn Plomp led the ceremony where the committee members— Maura Soekijad, Frans Feldberg, Edona Elshan, Hans Berends and Bart van den Hooff from the KIN Center for Digital Innovation — handed over the degree certificates to the candidates.
This year’s DBI Thesis Award went to Noah Menagé, with Rolf van Baar and Mina Steinmetz as runners-up. In conversations with the graduates, many expressed enthusiasm for the program’s hands-on approach and its relevance to their careers, with most having secured employment even before graduation. They also appreciated the personal focus of the program and the practical experience of working on various projects together with real-world organizations.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all DBI students who graduated this year and invite everyone to join the DBI Alumni LinkedIn group to stay in touch.
