Elsevier ranks us in the top three of best Dutch universities of applied sciences. Students value the quality of the education we provide, the expertise of our teaching staff and our personal approach. Also, we have established Windesheim Honours College: a study concept for excellent students.
One of our strengths is a personal approach. Students work in small groups and our lecturers are coaches as well. They challenge our students to think critical and develop into confident professionals. International students can join our buddy programme.
We pursue an innovative and entrepreneurial approach. We have many close ties with the business community and public institutes. We were the first university of applied sciences to become a member of the Business Hanse: an international network which represents traditional values in modern business life.
