About NHL Stenden

By expanding your boundaries, there is no telling what you might accomplish. That’s why we challenge our students, staff and partners each day to discover and develop their talents. It’s part of a journey of discovery that goes beyond their field of study and their immediate environment, and that places an emphasis on shared prosperity in the region.

The strength of NHL Stenden 

Our university of applied sciences is firmly rooted in the northern part of the Netherlands where we are based, while at the same time maintaining a strong international focus. At all our campuses and with our international network, we are always looking for new ways to successfully integrate education, research and the latest developments in the professional world. Our students, lecturers and researchers work together in small teams on real-life assignments and share their innovative ideas in practice. Our courses incorporate all the latest trends and developments in the relevant sectors and industries – at a local, national and an international level. 

The future calls for enterprising and resourceful professionals who know how to translate their knowledge into innovative solutions and who have the vision and courage needed to look beyond their own professional field.  

That is the strength of NHL Stenden: in a rapidly changing world, our people make the impossible possible.
