Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Highly recommend"
The programme genuinely lives up to its reputation. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, some seminar groups were too big for meaningful discussion. On the city — everything works — public transport, cycling, healthcare, admin. Overall, if you're considering Applied Physics at Saxion Hogeschool, I'd say go for it.
"Exceeded expectations"
This is the perfect place to study this subject. The best part: small-group tutorials really push your thinking. If I'm honest, admin can be slow to respond, especially at start of term. On the city — housing is the one real problem: start looking months before arrival. Overall, if you're considering Applied Physics at Saxion Hogeschool, I'd say go for it.
