Why have our students chosen HZ?
A community that welcomes you with open arms
Studying at HZ in the province of Zeeland means being part of a small, international community where students actually know each other.
"I feel like I found a second home here, filled with a warm and culturally diverse community. HZ is also the perfect place if you want to study somewhere relaxed, where you feel safe and heard "
- Kaloyan, ICT student from Bulgaria
Less stress in securing housing
International students find HZ a great choice also for how much easier it is to find housing compared to the bigger dutch cities.
"Here in Zeeland with HZ, finding housing is a different story, much more manageable. As soon as I applied to HZ, I was immediately directed to APV, the housing corporation for HZ students, so now I live here at a student campus in the beautiful coastal town of Vlissingen!"
- Samuel, International Business student from Slovakia
Young professionals on the making
Your future career starts at HZ: from day one, our students learn by doing thanks to our small-scale classes, practical projects and industry connections.
"It was my dream since childhood to become a civil engineer, and now as an HZ student I am given the opportunity to connect with both local and international companies that request our help to find practical solutions to real-life problems"
- Andreia, Civil Engineering student from Mozambique
