High student satisfaction made NHTV among Holland's best

For the tenth year in a row, NHTV Breda maintains its position as one of the top-ranked Dutch universities. Elsevier Magazine named NHTV the Best Specialist University of Applied Science in its 2016 ranking. NHTV is also the runner-up in the category of Best Medium-Sized Universities in Keuzegids HBO 2016.

Elsevier Magazine has recently published its annual ranking of Dutch universities of applied sciences and research universities, rating NHTV Breda no. 1. The score of each university is mainly determined by the results of the National Student Questionnaire. Elsevier reports that 90% of the study programmes at NHTV scores higher than average in higher professional education, “a privilege that is not granted to many universities of applied sciences and research universities”.

Although Elsevier ranking draws primarily on study programmes in Dutch, it gives British students who wish to study in English an overview of the quality of education and student experience at Dutch universities.

With a score of 69, just 1 point behind Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (CHE), NHTV Breda holds the second place in the category of medium-sized university of applied sciences in Keuzegids HBO 2016. Especially, three programmes at NHTV are awarded “topopleidingen” (top study programmes) label:

  • International Hotel Management: 82 points
  • Creative Media and Game Technologies / International Game Architecture and Design: 78 points
  • International Real Estate and Facility Management: 76 points

This result is based on the assessment of 1,150 bachelor’s degree programmes in the Netherlands.
