Education with impact

Knowledge that works in practice
Students in the city.

Students work with real social issues. They can work on a challenge during a minor, during their internship or during their graduation project, together with a partner from outside the university. The department Erasmus Verbindt links lecturers with external partners, ensuring that real-world challenges find their place in education.

Students work on social issues in various ways. They learn to reflect critically and collaborate with partners, inside and outside university. This way students already make an impact during their studies.
