Research universities are essentially accountable for offering research-oriented programs, while universities of applied sciences offer courses that focus on the practical application of arts and sciences with the main focus on real-life practice and career preparation.

Here they learn how to produce a radio or TV show, do market research, create a promotional campaign or organise an event.

The Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO) approves study programs offered by Dutch universities.

Internships, or  work placements, can be done in the Netherlands or abroad, and the choice upon the company is generally done by students themselves, but supervised and approved by the university.

Inholland is committed to protect its students during the work placements experience by monitoring its development and quality in rapport to the study career.

With approximately 190 partner universities in Europe, and few others overseas (Australia, China, South Korea, Argentina, just to name a few), Inholland's students are given the opportunity of studying abroad for one semester in the third year, by maintaining the same tuition fees that in The Netherlands.

Alternatively, students can choose to stay at Inholland and take part in one of many academic minors offered by each study programme.
