Saxion University of Applied Sciences
Saxion University of Applied Sciences
The Netherlands
Saxion University of Applied Sciences is one of the largest institutions of higher education in the Netherlands, with close to 27,000 students, among which 3,500 students are international from 89 different nationalities. The University has three campuses in the East of the Netherlands – one campus in each of the three Dutch cities of Deventer, Enschede and Apeldoorn. Thanks to the important contribution of agriculture to the local economy, this region is renowned for its beautiful countryside and fairly relaxed pace of life. Many of Saxion’s full-time educational courses are already conducted in English, with more being added each year.
Coming to the Netherlands from abroad can, of course, be a big step for many international students. If you are arriving from outside of the Netherlands, Saxion aims to make the transition for you as smooth as possible, which is why they have established a network of host families (Friends of Saxion International Students) who are on hand to help you settle into life in the Netherlands. They also have a “Buddy” programme, whereby current students can help guide you through your initial period of studying at Saxion.

What Our International Students Say
Georgiana Nastase
After I’ve decided in the last seconds that I want to study in Great Britain, with the help of my counsellor, I managed to open the way to my own dream. My first week spent at Birmingham City University has been dedicated to international students and all the activities I’ve been involved in taught me that friendships can be created regardless of your native language, religion or colour. I met hundreds of students and now I have friends from all over the world. Being an international student is a way to develop my personal skills and integrate better into society.
Andrei Ungureanu
I am really enjoying my student life here, the professors are very open and willing to help and so are my colleagues. KEA was certainly the perfect decision for me and Denmark as well. Before I got there, I was worried about all the necessary documents and procedures, but I was surprised how easy everything was in the end. All the university representatives are smiling and help you no matter what, and if you experience difficulties, everything is quickly solved.
Bogdan Ionescu
I like it here a lot, the university is very cool. I met older colleagues from my section and they gave me valuable advice. Thank you everyone from EDMUNDO, you helped me immensely to get to the place I wanted for quite some time now.
