Partner for businessesZuyd University of Applied Sciences is an important partner for Euroregional businesses and organisations as far as business courses, applied research, work placements and (graduation) projects are concerned. Through the University’s Research Centres, knowledge flows out of the University into the (Euro)region and vice versa.

Strategic locationThe University has locations in Heerlen, Maastricht and Sittard-Geleen. Its strategic location in the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion, a dynamic region in the heart of Europe, offers unique opportunities. Big cities like Aachen, Cologne, Brussels and Antwerp are close by. Abroad is only a stone’s throw away, for example during work placements at one of the numerous international businesses or exchange programmes with partner universities in the Euroregion.

Euroregional Gateway to KnowledgeZuyd University of Applied Sciences aims to be a Euroregional Gateway to Knowledge, bringing together students, staff, businesses and government institutions. It focuses on circulating knowledge, since “sharing knowledge” means “multiplying knowledge”.
