The history of Saxion University of Applied Sciences can be traced back to 1875, with a long history of more than 100 years, and it is one of the largest applied science universities in the Netherlands. Located in the eastern part of the Netherlands, there are three campuses in Fintel, Enschede and Apeldoorn. Among them, Enschede is only 10 kilometers away from the German border. With the needs of internationalization and industrialization, this area has become a new industrial zone, forming a urban economic zone with Berlin, Germany, which is developing rapidly and full of potential. Saxon University of Applied Sciences also maintains close ties with neighboring German universities, enterprises and institutions.
Saxon University is a good H-class school with good teaching facilities, abundant internship resources and high teaching quality. The only drawback is probably that it is located in Enschede, the easternmost part of the Netherlands, and it is not convenient to go anywhere. There are many interns in the company where I am currently working, and the school really actively provides a platform for students.
Help students develop their professional competitiveness
The educational purpose of Saxon University of Applied Sciences is to take students as the center and help students develop their professional competitiveness. Most of the faculty members have many years of practical experience in the industry. As an applied science university, Saxon is committed to practical technology and applied research. Therefore, in the process of students’ learning, the learning methods are diversified, and students can participate in group work in real environment. Most of the courses have one semester’s internship in Dutch or overseas companies, and the graduation internship is also carried out in the company. No matter whether students choose employment or further study after graduation, studying in Saxony will lay a solid foundation for their future.
How to graduate smoothly
From a global perspective, the key to successfully getting Saxion University of Applied Sciences Document Degree is: stabilizing your studies in the first year (the first-year dropout rate of the class of 2024 is 27%, which is higher than the target value of 23%), actively using support systems such as student coaches and study consultants, and starting to look for a house about three months in advance. There are three main challenges: the screening pressure of high elimination rate in the first year, the pre-consumption caused by the housing shortage of Dutch students, and the double load of academic and integration caused by the difference in mathematical foundation and social isolation. In short, graduation is not a natural result, but the result of actively managing progress, seeking support and solving life problems from the first day of school.
