Bachelor's programmes at Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences
During the first phase (Year 1) of all pathways, you are introduced to the concept of Business Administration through introductory modules. The theory of management, as well as
the concepts of starting a business, looking at the economic environment, and examining organisations from a worldwide perspective, are all part of the introduction. During phase one,
all students follow six cross-disciplinary project weeks, introducing research, consultancy and intercultural and interpersonal skills. After completing the first phase of modules, you can easily switch programmes within your pathway.

In the second phase (Year 2) you choose a specialisation from your pathway in which to graduate, and follow specialisation modules, continuing to develop research methods in your own field of interest. During this time, you also continue following the main business modules, continuing on from the first year, but now concentrating more on planning issues.

The final phase (Year 3) academic learning programme is completely directed towards graduation, with business and management modules focused on strategy and more depth in the specialisations. The final phase is completed with an academic graduation assignment that can be a dissertation, a business plan, or a consultancy project. The work experience you obtain in the final phase is often a wonderful opportunity for you to get up close and personal with a career option.

MAIN CAMPUS APELDOORN
Wittenborg was established in the historic hansiatic city of Deventer in 1987, opened by the mayor on September 21st 1987. In the summer of 2010, the University of Applied Sciences was invited by the municipality of Apeldoorn to move into a state of the art, purpose built facility within the public college Aventus. Wittenborg opened its new location, on the south side of the Apeldoorn central railway station in September 2010.

In September 2015 Wittenborg opened its second Apeldoorn location at Spoorstraat 23, a unique and historic school building situated in the centre of the new university square created by the city to the north of the railway station.

In July 2022, Wittenborg will moved from the 'Aventus' building into the Brinklaan building, which is located right next to the city center.

Only 10 minutes is required to walk between both campus locations. In Apeldoorn Wittenborg has grown to over 1200 students from more than 100 nationalities and because of its international character it takes pride in offering al its students quality student housing within its own campus accommodation in the centre of the town, as well as in own managed student apartments close to the university.

Study in Amsterdam is an exciting dimension to the Wittenborg experience and students following the business and entrepreneurship programmes there often live in the city and combine their studies with business start-ups for which Amsterdam is famous.
