2. MEA provided me with a much welcomed mental framework
for the myriad of concepts I was discovering in the EA world.
Also, hearing about others’ experience with EA was fascinating.
I enjoyed our assertive group and its passionate discussions
with lecturers and practitioners. The informal setting, the critical
minds, the green surroundings, the nice meals, etc. all
contributed to making MEA a unique experience with a definite im-
pact.

To me, this Master was a wonderful cocktail of professors
coming up with the academic foundation, experienced
practitioners sprinkling hints of pragmatism, and motivated fellow
students with whom I held animated discussions. The structure of
the programme was outstanding, with courses ranging from a com-
pany’s strategy, across to various architectural disciplines, and up
to governance. This Master gave me a good overall picture and has
made me an even better match for my new position at Colruyt Group.

At the end of an enriching rollercoaster ride, holding your breath
when discovering new concepts, exploring in detail the whole
EA landscape, experiencing a multitude of new insights, be-
ing guided by subject-matter experts with an academic or busi-
ness background sharing their experience, viewing the world as
you knew it from a different angle during a looping, longing for a
bigger female touch, enjoying the exchange of ideas and
company of your co-riders at every turn, getting dizzy from all these
impressions … you just want to ride again.

Enterprise Architecture means Impact
As an architect, you want to achieve a 360° impact. You
need to rebalance the entire ecosystem in which you are
working. This means working on the content, process
and context and getting people on board and decisions ap-
proved.
The Master of ICT Enterprise Architecture is the only pro-
gramme that focuses on the role of Enterprise Architect,
providing the student with theoretical and practical knowl-
edge required to achieve the desired impact.The emphasis
is on research, complemented by techniques and skills.
Theory and Practice
The course is equally divided between theory and
practice. Theories, techniques and methodologies
are explained and applied to practical cases. These
include existing cases introduced by visiting lecturers, or
cases to be solved by the students.
Each module consists of contact hours, a study of the
scientific literature and individual or group assignments.
The course is concluded with a Master thesis, in which
the student must demonstrate the ability to approach an
architectural problem in a scientific way.
Target Audience
This programme is aimed at professionals who wish to
increase their impact via ICT Enterprise Architecture in a
role involving ICT architecture, management, and project or
programme management.
Accredited Programme
This Master-after-Master curriculum was accredited
in 2009 and 2014 by the NVAO, the Accreditation
Organisation that independently ensures the quality of
higher education in the Netherlands and Flanders.
Successful participants receive an official
Master-after-Master degree “Master of ICT Enterprise Ar-
chitecture”.
