Saxion Universities have a history of more then 100 years

Saxion Universities are located in the East of the Netherlands on three campuses, in the characteristic cities of Deventer, Enschede and Apeldoorn and have a student population of approximately 20,000 of which 2,000 are international students, taking both Bachelors and Masters programmes in 22 different pathways. International programmes are taught in English and comprise both business and technical studies. A Dutch Bachelors or Masters degree is recognised throughout the world and will enable graduates to seek employment in their home country, or many other countries across the globe. The Eastern part of the Netherlands and the adjoining German borderlands are developing into an area with tremendous growth potential, constructed on a powerful knowledge economy and regional self-confidence. In this development zone, between the cities of the Western part of the Netherlands and Berlin, Saxion Universities of Applied Sciences have forged strong ties with German partner institutions, with which they have intensive cooperation, as well as maintaining their partnerships on a global scale with institutions around the world in Asia, Africa and the Americas. Good examples of these links are shown in the regular staff contacts and student exchanges with Universities such as Beijing Jiatong University in China and Ferris State University in the USA. The Universities were formed from two traditional Dutch "Polytechnics" recently and have a history of more then 100 years. The cities of Enschede, Deventer and Apeldoorn are no more than 65 km apart and have a good intercity rail connection. Read more: Saxion Universities
