Windesheim has most satisfied students with a support need

For the 5th time, Windesheim University of Applied Sciences ranks first in the category of major universities of applied sciences, in the area of studying with a support need and/or studying with a disability. The Centre of Expertise for Inclusive Education (ECIO) publishes this annual student satisfaction report.

Windesheim has received the best scores in its category on all topics. Student satisfaction is highest with the provisions to facilitate studying with a support need, the test facilities offered and the information students receive after a personal meeting. Students appreciate the commitment, understanding and counselling with all available options. This is a great compliment to all staff working hard to help students who really need this support.

The report also points out that there is still room for improvement of the information provision. This goes for information on reporting support needs as well as for the available digital information. At Windesheim too we will continue to develop in this regard.
