NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences

Studying at NHL Stenden is an exciting new experience. You will be challenged to voice your opinion and take the initiative. You do this in a safe learning environment where respect for different views and backgrounds is a shared value.

Life is about breaking through boundaries. At NHL Stenden you will be challenged every day to discover and develop your talents. It is a journey which surpasses the limits of your education. This means you will look beyond your own field and learn by collaborating with others.

Unlock the world

We have campuses all over the world. You will be encouraged to spend part of your education at an international campus site, like the ones in South Africa or Thailand. You may also choose to complete part of your course at any of over a hundred of our partner universities in dozens of countries, including the USA, UK, Canada and France. Whichever destination you choose, you are sure to gain plenty of international and cultural experience.

Education concept

With Design Based Education (DBE), ideas are turned into practical solutions, often in an international context. You will work in small inter-disciplinary groups on assignments from actual clients. This is the best way to prepare for your future field. DBE places a strong emphasis on the personal development of our students, with them being responsible for their own learning path. Our new educational concept will be used in 32 of our study programmes, starting from September 2018 onwards. It will also be implemented in all of our study programmes in the years to come.
