The practical way you learn

During your studies, you carry out practical assignments from real companies, working in groups and coached by lecturers and professionals with relevant professional experience. It’s a way of learning, an educational concept, we call DesignBased Education. You learn to draw on feedback to adapt your ideas and become more flexible, while also developing your teamwork and leadership skills.

There’s a world to explore

Our international community brings together over 80 nationalities on our campuses. It’s an open environment that will help you broaden your horizons in many respects. And we offer more options to get you ready for an intercultural work environment. For instance, you could do one of the programmes offered by RUNEU or, depending on your degree, do your internship abroad or follow a minor subject in a different country through our Grand Tour or Exchange programmes. You get to put together the right combination of courses and internships for you and develop both your professional and personal skills.
