Educational Vision
NHTV aims to be a meeting place for talent: a place where students, employees and knowledge workers from both industry and the academic community share their skills. Encounters within NHTV revolve around the acquisition, development and sharing of knowledge - but above all, NHTV is a place where people find inspiration, and in turn, inspire others.
Inspired by you!
The institute seeks inspiration in the industry and in its students. Developments in the industry are closely monitored, what does the industry want and what do you want? You can make your own contribution to the design of education at NHTV. Within the possibilities of your study programme, you can make your own choices and decisions. You shape your personal path of study and receive sound coaching in the process. You are encouraged to get the best out of yourself; even when you are a student with a disability. Special facilities can be arranged for students with a disability.
Competencies
To be able to operate as a professional, you need knowledge. With its many areas of expertise, associate professorships and an enthusiastic and skilful team of lecturers, NHTV has a wealth of knowledge to offer.
But knowledge alone is not enough. It is about a mix of knowledge, attitude and skills. This is referred to as competencies. So, education not only focuses on imparting knowledge, but on your total development as a person. Key competencies in all study programmes are collaborating, communication skills, and organisational skills. The NHTV academies have established the competencies for their study programmes in consultation with the industry.
Best practice
Education at NHTV is strongly practice-oriented. The theory you study is applied to practice directly. Most academies boast in-school training companies, where you learn to operate and collaborate in a professional setting. Other practical components include projects, skills training courses, company visits, work placements and graduation assignments. Most lecturers and supervisors hold part-time positions in the industry, and as such, they are perfectly capable of updating students on what’s happening in the world of work.
