Happy Christmas 2012

In 2012 the school successfully completed the second cycle of its Bachelor

IBA accreditation in 8 specialisations at the NVAO, and the programme was

also accredited by the German based FIBAA accreditation council. During

the past year, the validation process for the MSc programmes in

International Event Management and International Tourism Management

were completed and the Events MSc started with a small class in September.

2011 has been an exciting year, but also one tinged with sadness. - This year

we celebrated Wittenborg’s 25th Anniversary with a truly fantastic Gala

Evening; we also launched the Debbie (Memorial) Foundation which will

provide scholarships for deserving students.

All in all – a good year has passed, and Wittenborg University looks forward

to the challenges in 2013 with energy and drive!

On behalf of Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences, directors Peter

Birdsall and Maggie Feng of the Executive Board would like to wish you a

very Merry Christmas 2012 and a prosperous, successful and exciting 2013!

An Entrepreneurial Project Week

During the past week, Wittenborg Phase 1 and Phase 2 Bachelor students have been carrying out

the third project week of the year, this time with a clear focus on entrepreneurship and new

business development. One of the primary projects was designed by co-organisers “The Centre

for Young Entrepreneurs”, together with their partners Rabobank, Chamber of Commerce and

Startersplein who want to establish a forum for (starting) entrepreneurs in Apeldoorn. Through

this forum questions and problems of entrepreneurs will be categorized, clustered, and referred

to (preferred) providers, to be answered. The city of Apeldoorn also instigated a project entitled

“Apeldoorn: Students’ City 2015”, as did local consultancy company Cardies.nl, with their project

researching the impact of their so-called ”free marketing consults”.

The February Start - Bachelor, Pre-Master & English Prep all start in February!

Many programmes in the Netherlands offer students the opportunity to start their studies in

February. At Wittenborg, with its six starts per year in the Bachelor programme, the February start

is the second most important intake of the year, after September. Students who start in February

graduate in February, often leaving time for them to take a half year off before continuing with

their chosen Master programme. The English Preparation also allows entry at February, and

students can join the main Bachelor degree programme when they have completed their IELTS

test successfully.

For Master students needing preparation for their chosen MSc programme, a pre-Master is

offered that starts in February and runs through to the start of their chosen Master in Hospitality,

Events or in Tourism.
