PRESS RELEASE

Wittenborg has scored well in the national choice guide of higher education programmes in the Netherlands. The guide is called Keuzegids HBO Voltijd 2014 (Choice-Guide) and lists all full time Bachelor programmes offered in the Netherlands.

Wittenborg University is ranked number 5 of all international Business and Management Bachelor programmes in the Netherlands, and is the number 1 ranked privately funded University of Applied Sciences in this field. With a total score of 6.8, the International Business Administration programme is also the highest ranked in the Apeldoorn and Deventer region of the Netherlands.

The score is based on the results of the National Student Survey (NSS or NSE in Dutch), in which students are asked to evaluate their programme and institution at many levels. The results are also based on accreditation reports and data obtained from the national funding registration.

Although the result is for the overall IBA programme, this is in fact a clustering of business administration pathways, currently 8 programmes. IBA Bachelor students can choose from Economics & Management, Hospitality Management, Marketing & Communication, Logistics & International Trade, Real Estate Management, Information Services Management, Financial Services Management and Entrepreneurship.

All these programmes are delivered fully in English by an international team of Master and PhD qualified lecturing staff.

In September 2014, the IBA programmes will be expanded with programmes in the Arts & Technology field, including Fashion & Design and Innovation & Design.

In partnership with the University of Brighton, Wittenborg University also offers Master & Bachelor programmes accredited in the UK, as well as a programme in Entrepreneurial Business Administration accredited in Germany by FIBAA. These programmes are, as of yet, not included in the “Keuzegids”, however the joint Wittenborg-Brighton awarded programmes are included in the UK rankings.
