The AD is playing an increasingly important and valuable role within higher education. The strength of our Top Degree programmes lies in the combination of personalised and flexible teaching with a direct link to professional practice. They meet the needs of students and professionals alike, as well as the demands of the labour market. This makes them relevant not only for today, but also for the future.” - Arend Hardorff, member of the Executive Board of The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
