University of Professional Education Utrecht
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of Professional Education (HU - Hogeschool Utrecht Dutch) is one of the higher education institutions located in the town of Utrecht (city). It is one of the largest educational institutions in the Netherlands. The institution shares its main campus, the Uithof, with the largest university of the Netherlands, the Utrecht University. It also has buildings in Amersfoort, 25km from Utrecht (city).
The HU has around 30,000 students enrolled. It offers about 70 different degree courses (Bachelor and Master level) in a wide range of subjects: Communication and Journalism, Economics and Management, Science and Technology, Health Care, Education and Social Professions.
Although professional institutions are not allowed to be called Universiteit (Dutch), they have circumvented the law by using the English designation University, instead of the protected title. Under Dutch law, they are not real universities, but hogescholen (Dutch), literally translated high schools.
