Distinctive Positioning

In the disciplines in which it operates, NHTV aspires to contribute to the development of professional practice through education, research and practice-based assignments. This involves both higher professional education and academic education at Associate Degree, bachelor’s and master’s level. NHTV is positioned at the point where abstract theory meets practical application; a place where education, academic research and professional practice are closely interwoven.

Internationalisation, in the form of multi-cultural diversity, is part of the ‘NHTV way of life’. NHTV educates its students for careers with international perspectives. On account of their intrinsic natures and distinctive characteristics, all disciplines are positioned within a strong international context. The development of knowledge is not constrained by national boundaries.

The challenge that NHTV has set itself for the years ahead is to fully integrate the three strategic priority areas of academic development, internationalisation and excellence. These are to become mutually strengthening principles that contribute to the development of education. The themes of Imagineering, Cross-Cultural Understanding and Social Responsibility will give NHTV its own unique flavour.

NHTV and the city of Breda are interconnected. NHTV sees the centre of Breda as a campus that connects its buildings. Breda is the living and working environment of students and employees.
Over the next few years, the phrase ‘NHTV will come to you’ will spring to life. The institution intends to stretch its boundaries when it comes to offering education. Both nationally and internationally, NHTV will be offering education wherever there is a demand. Furthermore, NHTV invests in contemporary forms of education, such as e-learning.
