Wittenborg

Welcome to all our students from around the world, whether you are studying in the Netherlands, in Germany, or in Austria, or in one of the many other countries where you may be at this time. Whichever programme you are studying, the Bachelor of Business Administration, the Master of Business Administration, or the Master of Science MBM programme, we hope you will get the very most out of your studies.

We are starting this academic year, in 2020, after having experienced a period of disruption, angst, and lockdown across the world caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. By now it is clear that we will be living with the effects of the coronavirus for some time to come and there is no magic solution.  What is important is that we do not let this life-changing event stop us from developing, from learning, from improving our livelihoods, and from keeping moving on forwards.

Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences participates in many education fairs all-year round in many countries, but in the Netherlands as well. It is an excellent way to gain in-depth information about study programmes and application procedures.

Wittenborg's Prof Ron Tuninga, Vice-President of Academic Affairs, recently co-presented a seminar on AACSB standards and processes in Germany, together with Tim Mescon, Executive Vice-President of AACSB.

Months after Wittenborg urged the Dutch ministry of education to investigate how the University of Groningen (RUG) went about distinguishing between public and private funding to finance their failed venture in China, it has now come to light that Groningen went to great lengths to bypass a ministerial order that taxpayers’ money must not be used for the deal.

Nuffic's latest report on incoming student mobility in the Netherlands has highlighted the benefits of increased diversification in the international student population of the Netherlands.

The Netherlands has just completed a whole week of events to celebrate its international students. "The Week of the International Student' lasted from 13 – 17 November.
