After 6 years the SNE Master moved to the new Science Park building. Our new lab is now ready for the new students. We hope to make this a great year!

OS3 stands for Open Standards, Open Software (which extends Open Source) and Open Security. Together these three components define Open Technology. Our education is based on Open Technology, because this is the only way for students to get real insight into a field and to obtain an academic view on relevant matters. This in contrast to educations where programs are based on volatile, product specific tracks, which at best give operational knowledge with a short lifetime.
