Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas) is a European Research & Development institute educating young professionals, focusing on innovations with industry relevance and societal impact. Firmly rooted in Europe through KreativEU, BUas offers a small-scale educational environment – in the heart of Breda – and a wide range of international and English-taught professional and academic bachelor’s and master’s programmes in the fields of Built Environment, Creative Business, Data Science & AI, Facility, Games, Hospitality, Leisure & Events, Logistics, and Tourism. 

Just like the city of Breda itself, the university believes in the power of collaboration. Their strength lies in collaborative processes within their strongly-related fields of study – with a focus on AI and Sustainability – but also from sharing, enhancing, challenging and cultivating knowledge across the boundaries of these domains.

BUas creates added value in education and practice‑oriented research for students and, in turn, for business and society. Students are provided with knowledge as well as ‘BUas Skills for Life’, empowering them to thrive in an ever-changing world and contribute to making it a better place. They are given the opportunity to develop the relevant skills and experiences required to integrate seamlessly into a continuously changing world, or to start their own businesses through entrepreneurship programmes and startup accelerators. Working in close cooperation with local, national, and international partners gives BUas the added advantage of being attuned to the needs and demands of such businesses.

BUas is home to some 2,000 international students from all over the world who study in international classrooms together with some 5,000 Dutch students. In multidisciplinary learning communities, students and staff are encouraged to speak up, take initiative and explore new opportunities. BUas embraces diversity in both people and education, enriching the community and fostering an open, inclusive environment where people collaboratively learn, work, experiment and create. You are invited to visit BUas at www.buas.nl or come to their beautiful campus in the heart of Breda.
