As a didactic concept, NHTV applies ‘action learning’. Rather than ‘receiving’ education in the traditional manner, our students design and direct their own plan of study. Our lecturers are professional experts acting as role models for the students, rather than being tutors who tell them what to do. The knowledge and principles from the range of disciplines covered in the master programmes is applied to problems taken straight from the professional field. Our multimedia library has one of the most specialised collections in the world and our Electronic Learning System has made studying irrelevant of place and time.
