Saxion University of Applied Sciences has three campuses in the East of the Netherlands one campus in each of the three Dutch cities of Deventer, Enschede, and Apeldoorn. Thanks to the important contribution of agriculture to the local economy, this region is renowned for its beautiful countryside and fairly relaxed pace of life. However, all four Saxion locations have good public transport facilities, meaning that the hustle and bustle of the major cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and The Hague is no more than 1½ hours away. Saxion has a number of student associations. They aim to make your stay at the university as attractive as possible. Student associations emphasize fun and extra-curricular activities. Associations are not linked to particular courses. You can find more detailed information about the student associations on their websites and Facebook pages.
