Wonderful, we’ve done it again! The Higher education guide has once again selected Tio as the ‘Best university of applied sciences (small size) in the Netherlands’. This result fills us with pride.
The Higher education guide 2016 on Tio’s bachelor courses: “the highest ranking universities are familiar names. These are universities that have high ambitions and demand a lot of commitment and dedication from their students. Measured by our criteria, Tio scores the most points and thereby the highest score. Student Lisa Edelijn has no difficulty explaining this number-1 position: “Tio is a university for motivated students who wish to have that extra edge or experience that will set them apart from others working in the field. We receive a lot of private tutoring which helps to better grasp the subject matter and also remember it more easily.”
Excellent reviews
Tio scores good to excellent on all of the separate aspects. We have received high scores for the course curriculums, the lecturers, the learning objectives/skills we teach our students, the way in which we prepare our students for a career, and the communication. According to former student Ilse Wijnen, “the many opportunities for going abroad, the study trips and the diversity in meaningful projects also set Tio apart from other universities.”
