Why Choose Stenden 

Accredited Bachelor Programmes

Quality is important! All our bachelor programmes are accredited by the Dutch Flemish Accreditation Organisation (NVAO). Our Hospitality and Tourism programmes are recognized by the Qatari Higher Education Institute of the Ministry of Education.

1- Theory and practice

Our students are well equipped to start working in the real world immediately after graduation. Our programmes offer a good balance between theory and practice. Students have to complete a specific number of hours in a practical environment related to their course. The internship in the final year of study ultimately prepares the student his or her professional career.

2- Problem Based Learning

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered instructional strategy in which students together solve problems and reflect on their experiences.
Characteristics of PBL are:

  • Learning is driven by challenging, open-ended problems.

  • Teachers take on the role as "facilitators" of learning.
