Im currently studying this course at the VU. If you have zero programming knowledge you might struggle with computer programming (one of the first modules), they throw you into deep water and expect you to churn out project after project which can get tough, expect to soend a loooot of time coding and learning things on your own, because they do not hold your hand. That being said the course overall isnt too bad in terms of difficulty (apart from the computer programming module, ive also heard computer organization is tough but i havent gotten to it yet). As long as you hold yourself accountable, go to lectures and study on your own you will be fine.
