The Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (in English Christian University of Applied Sciences is added to the Dutch name; abbreviation remains CHE) is a Dutch vocational university, based in Ede in the central Netherlands. The CHE has a clear Christian basis: the Bible as norm and source of inspiration.
The mission of Christelijke Hogeschool Ede consists of two pillars: developing and providing high quality professional education, through which students are formed as Christians, equipped and trained to be (starting) professionals and developing, sharing and applying knowledge, which is made available (commercially or non-profit) to a society with multiform worldviews.

International programs are available within social studies, communication studies, business studies, nursing, journalism, education and theology.[2]
The academic year of the CHE starts September 1 and finishes the next year at August 31. The calendar year has four periods of academic activity, which end before the summer holiday in the month of July. During the summer holiday no formal instruction is given. At the end of August, students can catch up on the work that has yet to be completed and resit for exams. During each academic period of ten weeks, students visit classes the first six to seven weeks. The remaining weeks are used for other types of educational activities, including preparing for exams.
Course-structure: most modules require the attendance of classes. A module then consists of several hours of classroom teaching or work and a number of hours of self-study. In many modules, self-study is structured by so called study tasks (for example, library work), mini-training and assessment. Students receive detailed printed requirements per module.
Grading at the CHE 10: excellent 9: very good 8: good 7: satisfactory (above average) 6: pass 1-5: failure
Recognition
In 2010 CHE was appointed for the seventh consecutive year as the best university of applied sciences in the Netherlands by the Guide to Higher Education.[3]
