Saxion University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands is offering the selected applicant’s EURO 2,500 – EURO 5,000 to pursue their program of choice at the Institution in the Saxion International Scholarships.
Why choose to study at the Saxion University of Applied Sciences? Saxion believes that people should be central to the process of the world getting smarter. That is why it prepares its students in various ways for their future role in this dynamic society.
Saxion is a University of Applied Sciences that originated from the rich educational history of the city of books Deventer and from the social initiatives of enterprising textile traders from Twente. Ever since the 13th century, Deventer has been a bastion of books and knowledge. In the 15th century, Desiderius Erasmus was one of the many students walking the streets of Deventer. Students came from far and near, and Latin was their lingua franca. The Deventer-based Athenaeum Illustre, founded in the 17th century, was a school for academic education. The institution can be regarded as a distant precursor of Saxion.
In the final days of the Athenaeum Illustre, the Twente Industrial and Trade School was founded in Twente in 1864. It was financed by industrialists and traders from the textiles industry. With the founding of schools for secondary technical education, such as the Hogere Textielschool De Maere, technical education in Twente was on the rise. Education in Twente was strongly rooted in society. Entrepreneurs provided financing, took care of the management, recruited lecturers and offered opportunities for internships.
In Deventer as well as in Enschede and Hengelo, the educational offerings expanded considerably after the Second World War. In the sixties and seventies of the last century, many new and diverse degree programmes were initiated and the number of students increased considerably. After a management merger in the Stichting Hogescholen Oost-Nederland (HON) on 1 January 1998, Enschede started developing a city campus.
In the year 2000, the teaching foundation was given a new name. Rijkshogeschool IJselland and Hogeschool Enschede continued together as Saxion. In 2001, the university of applied sciences expanded its educational activities to Apeldoorn. Today, Saxion is a University of Applied Sciences in the east of the Netherlands where knowledge and technology, stemming from the rich history of the region, are more than ever the foundations for teaching and applied research.
