Student Reviews
Representative reviews"A great decision"
Coming here has changed how I think. The best part: you finish with a portfolio that recruiters take seriously. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city — English is universal; you don't need Dutch for the first year. Overall, if you're considering Software Development at Saxion Hogeschool, I'd say go for it.
"Worth it overall"
There's a lot to love, but it's not without its flaws. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city — housing is the one real problem: start looking months before arrival. Overall, if you're considering Software Development at Saxion Hogeschool, I'd say go for it.
"Mixed but mostly good"
Overall a solid programme but worth going in with open eyes. The best part: the lecturers include people actively shipping research to industry. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city — housing is the one real problem: start looking months before arrival. Overall, if you're considering Software Development at Saxion Hogeschool, I'd say go for it.
