Breda University of Applied Sciences

Breda University of Applied Sciences is located in Breda in the Netherlands and was first established in 1966. The student body is made up of students from across the Netherlands and across the globe, with students from over 100 countries studying there.

Courses are offered from bachelor’s to master’s level in a variety of programmes, across nine main departments: built environment; facilities; games; hotel management; leisure and events; logistics; media; tourism and artificial intelligence and data management. The courses across these departments range from tourism management to game technology and creative business.

The university provides work placements, professional training and collaborations with businesses for students.

Built environment students will undertake work placements in the sector of their choice in both their third and fourth year as part of a graduation project. Most third or fourth year students in any of Breda’s programmes will undertake a work placement to complete their graduation project, with lengths varying from 18-40 weeks.

The new campus has an area called Innovation Square, where students, researchers and professionals can create, develop and research their ideas. There are meeting facilities, brainstorming sessions and flexible workspaces for students to make their ideas a reality. Several large companies use the Innovation Square, including Logistic Workx, NEXT and Sassybot, allowing students to meet and network with industry professionals.
