Fontys provides education and research. As a broad-based university, we are the largest public knowledge institute in the southern Netherlands. Fontys wants to be an innovation engine by linking its education and research to innovation processes within and outside the regions. Fontys has a large impact due to its education and research in almost all sectors of society.
One of the most important decisions to be made by an aspiring student is to select the best option with regard to further education. It is possible to select from the wide range on offer in your own country, or you may prefer to broaden your horizons and explore the options for a suitable course in a foreign country. Having international learning experience may be an increasingly important factor in terms of your future profession. The decision to further your studies in a foreign country will bring about a number of additional decisions to be made. For example, in which country would you like to study and which learning institution would have your preference?
Fontys Hogescholen (Fontys University of Applied Sciences, or ‘Fontys’) is one of the largest Dutch universities, with campuses located primarily in the south of Holland. Despite the large student numbers, education at Fontys is organised on a small scale. At Fontys, internationalisation is a key issue. We offer English-language education to foreign students who wish to follow complete course programmes and/or to foreign students visiting us as exchange students. Quality is the key feature of the Fontys vision. We strive to achieve a level of quality that will match that of any higher education institution in the European context.
