With well over 25.000 full-time and part-time students and more than 2.000 staff, Windesheim is one of the largest universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands.
With a view to maintaining and continuing to improve the high quality of education and interaction with the business and academic communities, Windesheim has a dedicated governance structure.
Our three aims – education, research and entrepreneurship – are reflected in the way the university is organized. We have four divisions, each made up of related study programmes and research centres. As well as the campus in Zwolle, there is a campus in Almere offering education, research and entrepreneurship. The university also has two services departments to support its primary processes. Our divisional structure is illustrated in the organization chart.
The Business, Media and Law Division includes our English taught bachelor's progammes, and Windesheim Honours College which offers programmes for our talented students.
