Hospitality Management (Ad) Work & Study programme

At NHL Stenden, we turn work into learning and learning into work—that’s the power of Work-Based Learning. This approach makes our programme exciting and valuable for both you and your employer. While you gain new insights and skills, your employer benefits from the knowledge you bring in, your structured approach to real business challenges, and your professional growth. 

You won’t just learn from your own workplace—you’ll also exchange ideas with colleagues from both inside and outside the hospitality industry, gaining fresh perspectives and inspiration. Working with your study coach, you’ll shape your development at work, while your company coach acts as your sparring partner. You’ll develop key competencies by attaining specific learning outcomes, which are assessed by your company coach at the end of each period. It is a mandatory requirement to have a job in the hospitality industry in the Netherlands to be admitted to this Work & Study programme.
