What kind of institution is NHL Stenden?
A university of applied sciences
NHL Stenden is a Dutch university of applied sciences. This means that education is strongly connected to professional practice.

Through NHL Stenden’s Design-Based Education approach, students investigate real questions, develop ideas, test possible solutions and improve their work through feedback.
Applied sciences or research university?
Universities of applied sciences focus mainly on:
- practical and career-focused learning;
- professional skills;
- projects and teamwork;
- collaboration with industry;
- preparation for professional practice.
Research universities generally place greater emphasis on:
- academic theory;
- scientific research;
- independent academic study.
Both types of university can lead to a bachelor’s degree. The main difference is the way students learn.
Understanding this distinction is an important first step when choosing where and how to study in the Netherlands.
