Stenden, an University of Applied Sciences, is a young, dynamic and innovative university of professional education. Stenden University in recent years has grown into a truly global campus with more than 10,000 students from over 60 different countries.



During their studies, students must develop intercultural management skills and acquire international contacts. We strive to offer our students a truly international, educational Grand Tour through encounters with fellow students from several countries and cultures at Stenden University and its campuses abroad.

Stenden University of Applied Sciences has its own international campuses in the Middle East (Qatar), South Africa (Port Alfred), China and Thailand (Bangkok) where students may do part of their professional education. In addition to this, Stenden University offers worldwide internship possibilities and exchange programmes. Although primarily directed at undergraduates, you as a SGS student will still greatly benefit from the international exposure, network and contacts generated by Stenden University's Grand Tour initiatives.



Stenden University education pays specific attention to the care for "people and planet". An open dialogue with all philosophies and religions is central to our philosophy of education.

As a (future) manager and a professional, you will often have to take a stand on issues in a changing, multi-cultural world. Reflection on your own personal values or principles is an essential aspect of value driven-education in all Stenden University's studies and it is aimed at-for example-learning to deal with ethical issues in your professional practice.

Stenden University of Applied Sciences hopes to add to your personal and professional development in the encounter with others.
