Philosophy
Idealism
Education also involves the development of the capacity to bear responsibility. Idealism and an awareness of values play a role in forming all-round human beings. Considering and talking about professional ethics and life meaning are part of that process. These aspects are also thoroughly embedded in the study programmes and services provided by Fontys. As a consequence, Fontys trains people with knowledge of, and an open mind for, all facets in society.
Professionalism
In organising its educational programmes, Fontys carefully monitors developments and changes in the employment market. This keeps Fontys alert and ensures its education is up to date. As a result Fontys graduates have a high degree of professionalism and excellent job opportunities in the European labour market. All degrees obtained from Fontys University of Applied Sciences have been accredited according to Dutch or British laws and are in accordance with European regulations.
International Focus
The world of education is becoming increasingly internationalised. The same applies for Fontys. Fontys uses internationalisation as a tool for improving the quality of its own teaching. Fontys therefore participates in international programmes, advantageous to both staff and students. Fontys has established a major international network, and collaborates closely with universities and institutions throughout the world.
Practical orientation
Teaching at Fontys is geared towards developments in society and in the labour market. As Fontys stresses the importance of the application of theory into practice the programmes are highly practice-oriented. Traineeships and practical tasks ensure that after graduating, you will be able to make a full contribution to any business or organisation.
