Saxion is among the largest universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands. Our origin dates back to the early 1900s, when our predecessors were established. Nowadays Saxion University has become an important centre of expertise in the region. Our student population amounts to 20,000 and is still growing. The Saxion campuses are located in the beautiful eastern part of the Netherlands. While life seems a bit more relaxed here, all three Saxion locations have good public transport facilities. The larger cities of Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and the Hague lie within a 1.5 hour radius.

We are very proud of our diverse student body. People from over 52 countries choose to study at Saxion. Our international student population tops 2,000 students. International classrooms are made up of people from all over the world. Studying at Saxion will surely help you embrace other cultures and nationalities. For many international students, coming to the Netherlands is a very big step. We recognized the need for international students to quickly become part of the social environment. We have therefore invested in setting up a group of host families (Friends of Saxion International Students), who will be available to make our international students feel at home. We also encourage our current students to become buddies to make new students familiar with studying at Saxion.
