Avans University of Applied Sciences (Avans UAS).

The universities of applied sciences (in Dutch: 'hogescholen') offer programs that focus on the practical application of arts and sciences.

"Avans" is a knowledge institution with a powerful position in Brabant, anchored in the Brabant working field. For years Avans have also been known outside the country as the best university of applied sciences valued for its atmosphere and quality of education.

 

As a knowledge institution, we develop new knowledge for education and society. With our research we want to have impact on social issues. Avans has 4 Centres of Expertise and 2 expertise centers and over 31 professorships. Groups of researchers conduct practice-oriented research. The Centre of Expertise Materials and Energy Transition (MNEXT) is the place where Living Lab interns find their bachelor or graduation assignment. Please read more here.
