Over the years, student satisfaction at Avans has generally been very stable. The most important subjects for students in their ranking include the design of the education, the perceived dedication of lecturers and the evaluation of lecturers. Avans’ score is higher than the national average in all of those areas. This was once again shown in the results from this year’s National Student Survey (NSS).

The HBO Monitor shows once again that alumni are generally satisfied with their education at Avans University of Applied Sciences.

Avans University of Applied Sciences joined forces with nine other European universities of applied sciences and research universities to submit a grant proposal to the European Commission for the development of a joint European university.

Open X has been officially opened, in the presence of 120 guests. After Jacomine Ravensbergen of the Executive Board and Open X ‘founding fathers’ Mario van Rijn and Rene van der Burgt had pressed the red button, the guests were able to admire the new location connecting education, research and entrepreneurship.

Avans University of Applied Sciences stands at the very heart of society. Digitalisation, globalisation and the role of social media mean that we are subjected to a torrent of events both distant and local, and sometimes they can have a big impact. As a result, they are increasingly affecting our community. In all the tumult caused by political developments, wars and natural disasters, Avans wants to be an anchor point for all our students and staff. Irrespective of faith, political opinions, physical or mental disability, social and cultural background, sexual orientation or gender. We stand not in a hierarchy or in opposition to one another, but side by side.
