**Semester Division**

Each academic year is divided into 4 blocks, each approximately 10 weeks long, focusing on 2-3 courses.

**PGO (Problem-Driven Learning)**

Small classes (12-15 students) begin with real-world cases, using group discussions, independent research, and tutor guidance to achieve learning objectives.

Project-Based Learning

Each semester includes an interdisciplinary project, for example:

International Business students develop a plan for a company to enter the European market.

IT students develop a campus parking management system.

Engineering students design and 3D print a small wind turbine.

Internships and Graduation Projects

Undergraduate: At least 20 weeks of internship + graduation project (usually in collaboration with a company) completed in the 3rd or 4th year.

Master’s: Applied research projects throughout the year, directly addressing industry needs.

International Exchange

All undergraduate programs can apply for international exchange in the 3rd or 4th semester (partner universities include the UK, Germany, Spain, China, etc.).

V. Examples of Featured Courses

Minor in Innovation & Entrepreneurship: Available to all students, this course includes business model design, fundraising, prototyping, and culminating in a presentation of the startup project in the campus incubator.

Smart City Design: Engineering and IT students collaborate to use sensors, big data, and AI to solve real-world urban problems in Zwolle (such as traffic congestion and waste sorting).

Intercultural Healthcare: Students in the School of Health Sciences simulate providing care to patients from diverse cultural backgrounds, learning cultural sensitivity and communication skills.

VI. Entry Requirements (International Students)

Level | Academic Requirements | Language Requirements | Other

Undergraduate | High school graduation + Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination) score (or equivalent) | IELTS 6.0 (5.5 in each section) or TOEFL 80 | Some programs require a math test

Note: Dutch-taught programs require NT2 (the national standardized test for Dutch as a second language, B2 level).

VII. How to Choose a Major?

For those hoping to work in the Netherlands: Prioritize Dutch-taught programs (health, education, engineering, IT – extremely high employment rates).

For those seeking international development: English-taught programs such as International Business, Information Technology, and Sustainable Energy are the most popular.

Research Interest Orientation: If you are interested in health technology, smart cities, or educational innovation, you can choose the corresponding research center to participate in the project.
