At Zuyd University of Applied Sciences, we focus our research on areas that make a real difference to our region. We bring this to life through 2 dynamic centres of expertise:
What does our region really need? Where do the opportunities for Limburg lie? A mix of demographic changes and developments in housing, quality of life, economy, climate, energy, and digitalisation. These are challenges Zuyd University of Applied Sciences is eager to take on, specially because they matter to our region.
Art has the power to inspire, connect and transform. At Zuyd, you will learn how to channel your creativity into a diverse and fulfilling career. You will develop your artistic and conceptual skills, work on projects with social impact, and experiment in an inspiring environment.
Do you have a functional impairment, for instance dyslexia, a chronic illness or a condition that is of a permanent nature at least for the foreseeable future? At Zuyd we are here to support you throughout your studies.
The Ethical Committee for Research provides advice, both on request and on its own initiative, on ethical, legal, and procedural aspects of research. Researchers as well as other parties involved in the research may contact the Committee for advice at any time. In addition, the Committee sees it as its task to stimulate a special focus on scientific integrity and ethical awareness. Where necessary, the Committee will consult other experts.
At Zuyd, we work on solutions for questions that matter in society. We do this through practice-based research. Students, teachers, professionals, and regional partners pull together – developing knowledge that is directly applicable and makes a real difference.
