High quality
Elsevier Weekly's ranks us as the best Dutch university of applied sciences and according to the Higher Education Selection Guide we are the runner up. 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.
University of Applied Sciences
In the Netherlands, there are two types of universities. Windesheim is a University of Applied Sciences, where higher professional education is taught. This means that besides theoretical knowledge, the student will get hands-on experience through internships, projects with the professional field, group work, workshops and guest lectures.
The classes are small (max. 20–30 students per class). After a four-year Bachelor’s programme, students usually start their professional career. Research universities, on the other hand, offer highly academic, research-oriented programmes. These take three years and will be followed by a Master’s programme of 1–3 years, depending on the subject.
