The FHJ-building is located in the west of Tilburg, at the Gimbrerelaan. The FHJ houses studios for radio and television, as well as a printing press for internal publications. Students can choose various majors, including audiovisual journalism, newspaper and magazine journalism and corporate journalism. In 2005, the academy celebrated its 25th anniversary, organizing several conferences on the future of journalism in the Netherlands.

Fontys University of Applied Sciences is a Dutch university of applied sciences, located in the southern Netherlands. It has over 44,000 students[3] in several campuses. The three largest Fontys campuses are located in the cities of Eindhoven, Tilburg and Venlo. The name Fontys comes from the Latin word "fons" which means "source". Fontys offers 200 bachelor's and master's study programmes in the fields of economics, technology, health care, social work, sports and teacher training.[4] A selection of these programmes are offered in German and English. Independent Dutch university rankings by Keuzegids place Fontys among the top-ranked large universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands.[5] In 2014, former Fontys Chairperson Nienke Meijer was named the "Most Influential Woman in the Netherlands".[6][7]

Ranking

[edit]

On a regular basis, Fontys University of Applied Sciences is among the top-ranked universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands. Fontys scores above-average in the study fields of engineering, IT, logistics as well as business administration and management (consisting of the study programmes International Business (IB), Marketing Management (MM), and International Finance & Control (IFC).[8]

The ranking is done annually by the Centre of Higher Education Information and published in the Keuzegids HBO. It takes into account the perspectives of experts, students and universities themselves. Next to factors such as student satisfaction with their university's lecturers and study content, student success rates, IT facilities and practice-orientation the ranking is based on the accreditation reports of the Dutch-Flemish Accreditation Organisation (NVAO).[9]

All Fontys study programmes are accredited by the Dutch-Flemish Accreditation Organisation (NVAO) or equivalent British accreditation bodies.[10]

About 11% of Fontys students come from abroad;[11] they represent more than 70 countries around the world, with a large delegation from Germany. Many of these international students are enrolled as exchange students or degree students in English-taught bachelor and master programmes, often offered in cooperation with Fontys' partner universities in other countries.

Campuses

[edit]

Fontys campuses are equipped with computer rooms, libraries and student restaurants. Wireless internet is available throughout the campuses, enabling students to bring their laptop. In this way students can work, study, search for information whenever they want. The Student Facilities department at Fontys University of Applied Sciences offers advice and support about financial affairs, course-related matters, practical matters, sports facilities and student associations, supervises during the course of studies and provides information about events relating to the study process.[12]

Eindhoven

[edit]
Fontys International Campus Eindhoven

Fontys International Campus Eindhoven is located in the south-east of the Netherlands.[13]

Tilburg

[edit]

Fontys has three locations in Tilburg.

Fontys International Campus Stappegoor is located on the southern outskirts of the city.[14] The campus population consists of diverse students, ranging from Economics students to Software engineering students.

Fontys School of Fine and Performing Arts (Dutch: Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten – FHK) groups all educational programs in the visual and performing arts under the same roof in a building known as the Kunstkluster ('Art cluster') located in the centre of the city.

The Fontys Academy of Journalism (Dutch: Fontys Hogeschool voor Journalistiek – FHJ) is located in the Professor Gimbrèrelaan, in the west of the city, and is one of the four journalism schools in the Netherlands. It is one of the four journalism schools in the Netherlands. Founded in 1980 as the Academy of Journalism and Public Relations, the school had a Catholic background in its early years, although students and teachers have always doubted the existence of Catholic journalism. Several years ago the school joined Fontys Hogescholen, a community of higher vocational schools in the south of the Netherlands, and was given its current name. The FHJ-building is located in the west of Tilburg, at the Gimbrerelaan. The FHJ houses studios for radio and television, as well as a printing press for internal publications. Students can choose various majors, including audiovisual journalism, newspaper and magazine journalism and corporate journalism. In 2005, the academy celebrated its 25th anniversary, organizing several conferences on the future of journalism in the Netherlands.

Venlo

[edit]
Fontys International Campus Venlo

Fontys Venlo is a young campus with an old history. At first, the Venlo University of Applied Sciences was established on the grounds of the former country estate De Wylderbeek (whose forest still contains protected artifacts from Roman times). In the late 1990s, the institution joined the Fontys network.[15] Several renovations and expansions helped the campus buildings ("which were originally built by a congregation of nuns in 1965")[16] remain "state of the art on the inside and outside".[17] Today, the campus houses three institutes: Fontys Teacher Training Academy (FKE), Fontys Technology and Logistics (FTenL) and Fontys International Business Studies (FIBS).[18]

Although Venlo's city centre was rebuilt after the Second World War, it has buildings dating back to the 14th century. The city retained the historical significance of its monuments and old facades. Ald Weishoes (Old Orphanage), Romerhoes (Roman House), the Stadhuis (City Hall) and the St. Martinuskerk (St. Martin's Church) are just some of the many historic buildings in Venlo's city centre.[19] From 2013 to 2015, together with The Hague, Venlo was chosen to have the "best city centre in The Netherlands".[20]

Both the location on the River Meuse and its close distance to Germany make Venlo one of Europe's most important logistics hotspots. It is accessible via six surrounding airports: Eindhoven Airport, Maastricht Aachen Airport, Düsseldorf Airport, Weeze Airport, Cologne Bonn Airport and Dortmund Airport.
