Do you want to kickstart your international career with a study programme abroad? 

Studying at Avans University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands is an excellent option if you are considering studying abroad.

As a knowledge-based institution, we develop new knowledge for education and society as a whole. As part of this, lecturers, lecturing researchers and students conduct practice-based research for businesses, government agencies and civil society organisations. The results of this research are implemented into our curriculum. Knowledge valorisation is a key item on our agenda: we take care to ensure that our newly acquired knowledge is of public value.

Studying at Avans means acquiring state-of-the-art knowledge. But that's not all. You will also learn how to apply this knowledge in real business or professional projects. Our studies are geared perfectly to the requirements of organisations that operate internationally. Avans graduates have an excellent reputation and often have a head start in the world of international business. They work in highly qualified positions all over the world.

A work placement is another great way to prepare yourself for the professional field. Each student carries out two work placements with duration of one year in total.
