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.
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.
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.

I have had the opportunity to enroll in a fast-track program and focus my learning path on Ecology. The program was great, complete and I learned a lot from it. I am graduating in a month now and I feel ready to enter in a Master after having learned so much in HZ!

I am confident that this degree will effectively prepare myself as a tourism professional.
