Grand Tour
Your ultimate international education experience!
Why postpone traveling until after your graduation, when you can go abroad during your studies? With our Grand Tour you can combine studying with traveling, having fun and getting to know other cultures and countries! Being enrolled at Stenden university gives you the opportunity to do parts of your study in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and/or Asia. Whether you choose the Netherlands, South Africa, Qatar, Thailand or Bali, you are working towards getting your chosen degree without any delays.
Our Grand Tour concept is based on the educational principles from Europe. In the 16th, 17th and 18th century, young men traveled around as an addition and enrichment to their education. They visited the main cities of Europe, which were renowned for their rich cultural life. This was often referred to as the ‘Grand Tour’. The journey took years. In those days, the purpose of the Grand Tour was to become familiar with the customs, values and norms of other people, to start relationships with important people in the international field, to widen one's horizon, to acquire knowledge and to refine one's manners.
Traveling makes us aware of our own culture and of the culture of others. It opens your eyes and your mind and this is exactly why Stenden university offers you the Grand Tour.
What to expect?
Going on a Grand Tour means that you will follow a part of your study at one of the Stenden campus sites abroad. At each campus we work on a modular basis with an interdisciplinary approach. Our Problem Based Learning (PBL) system is offered at each campus site. Local teachers and students make the study at one of the campus sites truly an international experience! There are various study options, ranging from optional minors, internships or regular semesters. Your entire Grand Tour experience will be organized, monitored and coordinated by the Grand Tour department.
