The HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht is an ambitious university in dynamic surroundings. As a university of applied sciences, we provide education and conduct research. We train – future – professionals who are highly in demand in the labour market and are inextricably tied to the Utrecht region. The link between education, research, and the professional world enhances our regional... impact. HU is a knowledge organisation. Through high-quality education and research we work on the innovation and professionalisation of professional practices and on the personal development of talents. We thus contribute to the social, cultural, and economic development of an open, just and sustainable society.
HU trains motivated students – from the age of 17 up to 67. In other words, we not only concentrate on newcomers to the labour market, but also on those who (long) have a job and wish to update, broaden or deepen their knowledge and skills. After all, society needs professionals who continually renew their education and keep up to speed. We have a wide range of study programmes and courses that cover almost all the (professional) fields and are one of the largest providers of post-initial education and master"s degree programmes. Many of our programmes sprouted from the demands from those professional fields, which still are the point of departure for all our work. Together with professionals in the field – and with the findings from our practice-oriented research [link to University of Applied Sciences] – we safeguard the high quality of our education, contribute to the Human Capital Agenda of various industries, and help to innovate professional practices.
Due to our open communication – both internally and externally – HU is a transparent organisation. HU"s management philosophy is based on teamwork. The point of departure in all our collaborations is that we share our knowledge and act as promised. This means that we consistently recognise, use, share, and enhance each other"s different competences and expertise – so that we can yield the greatest return together.
HU wants to be visibly valuable to its surrounding area. We collaborate intensively with major and small businesses, (knowledge) institutions, partners in the educational chain, and governmental authorities. Co-creation and co-production are the keywords. Our students are put wise to the professional world by, for instance, internships and graduation assignments. In their turn, the staff members from these businesses and institutions provide guest lectures.
HU likes its knowledge and technology to be of social and economic value to both its surroundings and the university itself. That is why our university is a main participant in the Utrecht Valorisation Centre (UtrechtVC), a collaborative partnership of HU, Utrecht University, the Utrecht University Medical Centre, and Rabobank.
HU is located in both Utrecht and Amersfoort. The Utrecht activities are slowly but surely concentrating in the Utrecht Science Park, where some of our important strategic partners like Utrecht University, its medical centre, and Nutricia Research, are located – and where education, research, and knowledge – intensive corporations reinforce one another by their mutual proximity.
At Hogeschool Utrecht University of Applied Sciences (HU), our employees and the teams in which they work are the key to the high level of quality of our teaching and research. We seek to be an attractive employer and are constantly focusing on the quality and professional development of our employees and their long-term deployability. As far as terms and conditions of employment are concerned, HU is covered by the Collective Labour Agreement for Higher Vocational Education; we have also added or extended certain regulations for a number of situations.
