Teaching

The university college stimulates the expansion of all possible scientific research and the development and practice of the arts as a socio-cultural service. The Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst emphasizes on the social relevance of research and the added value for the educational programmes. The university college interacts openly and strongly with its partners in the field of action: business and the arts, universities, institutes for higher education and other research organisations, at home and abroad.
International cooperation
It is our goal to create a suitable environment for foreign students, academic staff members and business partners. We strive to offer everyone the opportunity to develop new aspects of their education and personality in a European framework. Therefore the Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst participates in various European exchange programmes and maintains partnerships all over the world. The official language of instruction is Dutch. However, most institutions have set up special English taught modules for the benefit of exchange students.
