HAS University of Applied Sciences - Venlo

Are you interested in food, agriculture and horticulture, green open spaces, nature, the environment or agribusiness? You are welcome at HAS University of Applied Sciences, the green education and expertise centre of the South of the Netherlands and beyond.

HAS University of Applied Sciences is a market-oriented higher education institute with campuses in Den Bosch and Venlo. In order to prepare you for the professional field, you spend around one quarter of your studies on traineeships. At the end of your first year you do a work experience traineeship for the period of one term. In your third year, you do two extended project traineeships for a total of 30 weeks, one of which must take place abroad. In your fourth and final year, you complete your studies with a company assignment of 20 weeks: a business problem which has to be solved by you and your fellow students, supervised by lecturers and advisers. A personal approach is of paramount importance at HAS, and during your studies you can count on intensive support by a coach.
