About
Education
HZ has around 5.000 students divided over four study years and 22 bachelor degree programmes, seven of which are taught in English. Some 500 students come from outside The Netherlands, so we have a great mix of Dutch and international students. Easy mathematics will tell you that with such numbers, classes are going to be small.
Research
A great deal of practical research is conducted at HZ. Questions from professional business practices are central focus points during this type of research. Issues are examined by lecturers, teacher researchers, business professionals and students. They are united in research centres and lectures, which all have a strong connection with the local area.
Career
Beginning in your first year with the HZ, you will be assigned a personal study career coach to assist with mapping out your individual study plan. This is extremely helpful in the beginning because at this stage you may not be fully aware of all possibilities available to help reach your goals. As you progress in in your studies, you will gradually make decisions independently but your personal coach is always available for advice.

Student Reviews
Artistic experience
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
Very nice community however there are some questionable thing the school is doing... sometimes seems unprofessional, but it’s an art school so people are more chill.
University is located in the best place.

Teaching with updated technology. Job related studies. Good lectures.
not a school for me
Anonymous rated 2 out of 5 stars
The teachers are helpful and the course is quite nice. I dislike the campus and the city/province as it’s too small to me and it doesn’t make me feel like home/happy. Most of the time, it’s self study instead of lectures which gives you a lot of freedom.
