Saxion University of Applied Sciences

The BML-program is located at the intersection of chemistry, biology and medicine. The first year is devoted to lectures in the fields of biology, chemistry and mathematics. In addition to education in theory, students do a lot of research in the laboratory. Through excursions and guest lectures they get a clear picture of their future. In the second year the course focuses on medical-biological disciplines. After the first two years, students can specialize in a particular field: research or diagnostics. A specialization in the field of infection prevention or nanotechnology is also possible.

The BML-program has its main focus on research. Students do research on a diverse and wide range of areas, for example on diseases like cancer, the development of better foods or tracing offenders through DNA. In the third year students participate in a multidisciplinary group working on large-scale cases. The closure of the program consists of a thesis. To complete this thesis students often carry out research at a university, a hospital, a research institute or a pharmaceutical company.

Infection and contamination control, Nanotechnology

The BML-program learns students all about the health of humans, animals and plants. Research in diseases of human beings is based on material from patients. With this material students examine what exactly is going on. In the second term of the program students have the opportunity to specialize in a particular field; research, diagnostics, infection and contamination control or nanotechnology. Most of the graduate students BML find their way as a researcher in a biological or medical laboratory health care, in government or in business.

In the first year students orientate themselves in the field of Business Management Studies. They follow courses such as business administration, marketing, organizational management, business law and communication skills. The second and third year consists of a further deepening in the field of Business Management. Students learn, for example, what is involved in setting up an enterprise and gain insight into business processes. Examples of themes in the second and third year are "Business and Environment", "Strategic Management"

Business, Corporate and Labour Law, Business Development and Innovation, Marketing

At Business Management Studies students learn to combine public administration, economic and legal perspectives together to solve complex issues at companies. In addition, students look from a broader perspective to organizations with a focus on innovation of business processes to discover how organizations are structured and how processes can be improved. Students learn to put innovations into market and they learn to provide companies with legal advice.

The first year of the Chemistry-program is the year of the basic skills. Chemistry prevails. It ends with a project in which students apply all learned knowledge. In this way students get a clear picture of the program. In the second year the program focuses on deepening and widening. During the third and fourth year students can choose a specific direction, such as analytical chemistry, organic chemistry or nanotechnology. Students choose a minor containing subject which helps them to specialize in the direction they choose. The program ends with a final period of six months.

During the Chemistry-program students do research on the development and improvement of medicine, food, resins and paints. They also investigate the development of new analytical methods to prove lower concentrations of pesticides in food and they are engaged in the development of intelligent plastics (which means plastics in electronics). This technique makes it possible to see images on, for example, t-shirts.

Analytical Chemistry, Organic chemistry, Nanotechnology

The field of Chemistry extends from the chemical industry to government agencies and commercial enterprises. Students are engaged in development and improvement of medicine, food, resins and paints or the development of new analytical methods to prove lower concentrations of pesticides in food. But also the development of electronics in plastics so that images are presentable on t-shirts, belongs to the field of Chemistry. The program has subjects like chemistry, analysis, synthesis of materials, statistics and quality and environmental care.

The study program consists of a lot of real life projects. Examples are civil engineering structures in a recreational area, such as a bridge, fishing pier or parking facility. The core is the design, but design is more than making a beautiful drawing. How big should a fishing pier be? Can it be placed under a high-voltage cable? Furthermore, there is much attention to implementation, management and maintenance: how will a new bridge remain strong enough for the next 100 years?

Water Management, Traffic and Roads, Construction Design

Civil Engineering includes the upper and underground infrastructure. Students get acquainted with this very diverse field and learn to play a role in the development, construction and management of prestigious civil engineering projects. Think of bridges, viaducts and roads, but also offshore, sewage, water treatment, water supply, water conservation and management are covered by civil engineering. The study program has good contacts with the industry and has an extensive international network. Students work every period together on practical projects.

In the Saxion programme the focus of the first two years of study is towards the knowledge and skill s required by any applied computer science engineer. Students learn how to apply knowledge and skill s in projects, with strong emphasis on the required design methodology (V-model, scrum, etc.) and bu ilding competences and confidence in our students. The last two years are devoted to industrial atta chment, large projects and a graduation project in industry.

Computer science at Saxion is geared towards application and therefore really applied computer scien ce. The focus is towards applied research, in cooperation with our research centers Ambient Intellig ence & Mechatronics and with the industry in Twente and elsewhere in the Netherlands. Students le arn how to carry of design and applied research within their field of study. This results in technic al software and hardware interfacing for a variety of processes and products such as: embedded syste ms, mechatronics, ambient intelligence and robotics.

Embedded Systems

Computer Science at Saxion UAS is known for the specialization called “Real-time Embedded Systems? (RTES). RTES are products with a tiny computer on board. Think of ad-hoc sensor networks (small devices that exchange information with each other) which for example can be used to detect a fire. You can also think of bio-feedback systems (systems that are used in health care) and autonomous robots such as Nao Robots which can be used at home.

The study programme is known because of its "2+2-structure": the first two years consist of a strong theorical basis. In the last two years there is an emphasis on working in a professional environmen t. In the last two years students "learn how to learn" and there is also an emphasis on independentl y apllying of knowledge. The whole curriculum is known of its wide variety in assessment methods. Th e study programme always tries to bring theory and practice together.

Electrical Engineering has an emphasis on applied research, which means we try to make scientific fi ndings available for local companies. We also try to find new applications for already known theorie s/knowledge. There is a strong focus on methodology of design. Research is mainly focussed on case s tudies, not on statistical evidence.
