Tio University of Applied Sciences also offers Associate degree programmes. An Associate degree is a 2-year bachelor programma (hbo in Dutch), after which you can immediately get started in the professional field. The programme offers professional knowledge and skills that you can immediately apply in practice.
The Associate degree programmes are set up in collaboration with the business world, based on the special desire for employees with a level of education that lies between mbo4 (vocational training programme) and a bachelors degree.
