Some quotes from reports from 2011:
1. "Quality, Transparency and integrity are key at Hogeschool NOVI"
2. Keuzegids.org, an independent Selection Guide that researches part-time Higher Education programmes:
- "The bachelor of Business Information adn IT (Bestuurlijke Informatiekunde) of NOVI University is the highest rated programme in The Netherlands."
- "NOVI's highest ratings are for content, action-learning and their flexibility."
- "Our advice: are you looking for a bachelor of Information Economics we reccomend NOVI."
3. NSE, an independent organisation that researches all bachelor programmes by polls by studernts in The Netherland has also evaluated NOVI.
- More then 500.000 students rated their school. Hogeschool NOVI is one of the highest rated Academies. 59 out of 64 points is the score; are higher then what is accepted as acceptable and average in The Netherlands.
The -typical Dutch- way of working is that all programmes are based on the Action Learning Methodology; "learning by doing" and practical oriented. That means that examples from practise are the bases for the theoretical background on what you learn. This might be the secret of their high ranking.
As a working student, we know that you're juggling the demands of family and work.That's why NOVI and hBA developed this short and valuable programme.
