Hi Eduard, thank you for your question. This is an international business programme where the main language is English. The programme covers all the aspect of business like finance and accounting, management and organisation, supply chain managemant, business cases which are projects. Besides that at the moment everything is being taught virtually so you can do it from the home country at the moment. If the situation gets better you can move here and study from here and go to uni again, Saxion will help you to find an accommodation.

Hello Ashwina!

Under normal circumstances, I think it should be possible to find a part-time job without knowing Dutch. At the moment, though, lockdowns and the pandemic in general, have a huge impact on industries that normally employ a lot of students. For this reason, finding a job will be harder than usual. But I don't personally live in Enschede/Deventer, so I think another student will be able to give you a better answer.

Good luck with moving to the Netherlands and hopefully finding a job! I hope you will get to experience the Netherlands in its full glory soon when things get more normal again.

Sure, send me an email!

Hello Sumithra!

Honestly, I don't know of any specific requirements in regard to mathematics. Your eligibility is based on your English skills, but most of all your school diploma, which should at least be equivalent to a Dutch VWO, HAVO or MBO4 diploma, or the German Abitur. More information on admission requirements can be found under this link, as well as contact information in case you have any other (specific) questions:

Hello Tamisha!

Content-wise there are actually quite a few differences between International Business and International Finance and Accounting. In the IB programme, students study four different domains: Marketing & Sales, People & Organisation, Operations & Supply Chain Management and Finance & Accounting. Therefore, IB students do learn about Finance & Accounting, but I can imagine that the International Finance & Accounting programme will be more in depth, because it is the focus of this programme. In the IB course, the domains are more general.

International Finance & Accounting students do have other subjects as well, but the main focus of the two programmes is different. If you want to learn more about the content of the programmes, you can find it on the Saxion website under the following links:

International Finance & Accounting - https://www.saxion.nl/opleidingen/en/fulltime/bachelor/international-finance-and-accounting/course-content

International Business -
https://www.saxion.nl/opleidingen/en/fulltime/bachelor/international-business/course-content

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask us or the International Finance & Accounting students (https://www.intosaxion.nl/nl/opleidingen/international-finance-and-accounting/)!

Good luck with your choice and I hope to see you soon at Saxion!

Hello Mithun!

Hi Franklin,

Thank you for your question! I just looked at the school website and the discount is only for what it seems and how I understood it for EEA/EU students. Whilst the tuition fee for non-EU students still remains the same that is for the Feb or Sep intake.

Below you can find the link:
https://www.saxion.edu/programmes/bachelor/international-business

Not familiar with this myself but it should be fine, although I think most classes will be online the first semester so there will be little reason to travel if you prefer to live in Germany. COVID-19 regulations are obviously subject to change so you can't be sure.

Hello there! Usually the IB program starts on the first week of September. However, continue following the latest news from Saxion on all social media platforms for any new updates!

Hi Flavian! As far as I know studystore.nl is mostly used to purchase books. However, why not try look on social media? :). There is a facebook group called Saxion Enschede-Selling Books. Here, you will of course not only get second hand books, but cheap and affordable books. Just post a message on the group or check out if there is anyone selling the books you need!

Hey Karla,
As far as I'm aware there are no specific requirements for your high school curriculum but you can check:
https://www.saxion.edu/programmes/bachelor/international-business/toelating

for all requirements.

Hello Daria,
This is a very specific question and you could better directly ask the contact persons of the study this question. If you go to the Saxion website and look for the IBS study, you can find some contacts what you need. Otherwise Saxion IBS is also active on Facebook. But on the Saxion page there are enough links to email to the right person.

Maybe someone else can answer your question directly who comes from Russia, but I don't know. Good luck!

Dag Stefan,
De toetsing bij de opleiding gaat op verschillende manieren. Hoe dat er volgend schooljaar exact uit gaat zien met deze pandemie is voor iedereen nog de vraag. Normaal heb je voor toetsen nog pen en papier. Sommige toetsen maak je op de computer, maar je gaat ook veel opdrachten en projecten doen en krijg je een cijfer nadat je een verslag hebt gemaakt.

Het rooster is verschillend. Ik ben zelf nu een 2e jaars en heb dit jaar 1 dag in de week vrij gehad, vorig jaar had ik 5 dagen in de week school gepland staan. Je krijgt wel 2 dagen in de week de tijd om aan je business case te werken. Je krijgt 2x per jaar een project met een echt bedrijf genaamd de businesscase.
En normaal staat het rooster van een kwartiel wel vast, er kan altijd wat geschoven worden met feestdagen of dat een leraar echt niet kan, maar roosters zijn ingepland per kwartiel.

Hopelijk heb ik al je vragen beantwoord, zo niet, stuur gerust nog meer vragen!
Groetjes,
Oscar

Hoi Stefan,
Voor jou eerste vraag is het belangrijk dat je wel de economische kant in wil! Alle vakken die je krijgt zullen met elkaar te maken hebben, en het vak Management and Organization zal het diepst gaan over hoe je een organizatie runt. De vakken lijken allemaal erg theoretisch, je gaat ook heel veel practise dingen doen tijdens de studie met veel projecten zodat je niet alleen maar in de boeken zit maar ook echt gaat werken met je studiegenoten voor echte bedrijven.
Voor jou tweede vraag, is het natuurlijk altijd handig om wiskunde kennis te hebben. Je gaat veelal werken met Excel om zo tijdens de finance les een break even point te berekenen bijvoorbeeld. Of voor de les Research Methodology ga je ook Excel gebruiken om daar data mee te berekenen.

Hello Sam,
During the study, the finance class will start from a very easy level and will become a bit more intense every lesson. The teacher helps you every step of the way.
Where you use math is only in the Finance classes, also with the help of Excel.
And in the class Research Methodology, you have to analyze the validation of the research you have found, also with the help of Excel.
These classes will have everything instructed for you on how to use formulas, how to use Excel itself, and how to calculate what you are looking for.

Hoi Marlene,
Je hebt gelijk, tijdens presentaties wordt er verwacht dat je Business Casual gekleed komt presenteren, net alsof je voor een bedrijf presenteerd. Sommige mensen komen helemaal in pak, al is het vaak voldoende om als meisje een rok te dragen met een net shirt en als jongen een overhemd met nette broek.
Soms moet je ook voor mensen uit een bedrijf presenteren als je je Business Case gaat presenteren. (de business case is een project wat je voor een echt bedrijf doet)
Buiten presentaties om mag je je gewoon kleden zoals je zelf wil.

Hello Dagmar,
You can find Facebook groups of Saxion teachers and students online where you can get books and other tips and tricks. But the first thing you will get before studying is a mail from the school with a link where you can buy all your books in 1 place. It will give you instructions on how to select the right study and it will automatically give you a list of the right books.
To buy second-hand books online, you can go to www.bol.com and enter the book code that's in the list given by the school.

Hello Neelima,

Because of the Corona pandemic, I can not tell you the exact procedure of the interview before studying at Saxion. I would recommend keeping a close eye on the website of Saxion with information updates about the application process and interview process.
From what I know, teachers sometimes used to fly over to your country of origin to have a real face to face conversation. Now, it will probably only go through online channels like Microsoft teams.

Hallo Hugo, op de studie International Business leer je allemaal verschillende functies voor binnen bedrijven. Studenten hebben de opdracht, ook wel Business Case genoemd, gekregen om een exportplan te verzinnen voor verschillende bedrijven in verschillende sectoren. Ook waren er verschillende opdrachten waar studenten nieuwe marketing strategien voor bedrijven moesten verzinnen om een groter markt aandeel te krijgen waar ze in werken. Bijvoorbeeld actiever online adverteren.

Echt functies in bedrijven krijg je niet, pas als je op stage gaat. Maar je leert voordat je op stage gaat alles wat met business te maken heeft. Om een paar op te noemen: Marketing, HR, leadership, finance, market analysis, sustainable business strategies en organizational management.

Om nog een aantal bedrijven te noemen waar wij real life opdrachten hebben uitgevoerd de afgelopen jaren zijn: Bosch Nefit, Remondis, Bonfait, Rollepaal, Brinkers, Wegter, Johma.

Ik hoop hierbij je vraag beantwoord te hebben, toch nog een vraag, stel gerust!

Hey Nicole,

Deze Studie geeft je zeker een goede basis voor een carrière in (internationale) marketing! Het feit dat je economie lastig vindt en ook geen M&O hebt gehad zal waarschijnlijk wel betekenen dat de studie iets uitdagender is maar zeker niet onhaalbaar. Dingen zoals het lezen en begrijpen van jaarrekeningen en balansen zijn voorbeelden waar je aan kan denken maar het meeste van deze basis krijg je tijdens de eerste jaars vakken. Laat maar weten als je meer vragen hebt.

Groet Stijn

Hello, for specific requirements look at the Saxion website what you need to start the study.
https://www.saxion.nl/over-saxion/organisatie/academies/international-business-school-ibs

Hoi Suzan, voor IBS heb je niet de beste wiskunde kennis nodig. Je zult het meest moeten rekenen met het vak finance and accounting. Daar krijg je ook modellen bij en genoeg uitleg, ook werk je in Excel waar het meeste reken werk voor je gedaan wordt dus dat moet goedkomen. Voor toelatingseisen of andere specifieke eisen kijk even op de website van Saxion
https://www.saxion.nl/over-saxion/organisatie/academies/international-business-school-ibs

Hey Kevin,
In mijn tijd was de verhouding ongeveer zo (naar mijn eigen inschatting):
50% nederlanders, 30% duitsers 20% overige internationals.

Ik heb alleen in Enschede gestudeerd dus deventer kan ik niks over zeggen qua studie, qua stad vind ik Enschede een stuk gezelliger (meer een studentenstad). Ik ben erg tevreden over mijn IB studie, al had ik achteraf misschien specifieker gekozen. Ik wist nog niet echt welke kant ik precies op wilde gaan binnen de zakenwereld. IB heeft mij alle kanten (sales/marketing/finance/accounting supply chain etc) laten zien. Ik ben nu verder aan het specialiseren dmv een master in finance.

Hopelijk geeft dit je een beeld, als je meer vragen hebt stel ze dan gerust.

Hello Mariya,

Yes, you will have courses for orientation to your specialization (Languages, Technology and Innovation, Entrepreneurship) in the first semester. For the languages, you can choose between Spanish, German and Dutch. You will start with your specialisation in the second semester then.
For me, international business was the right choice because I really like to be in an international environment with people from other countries and cultures. I also like the possibilities the program gives you. You can go abroad for your internship and study one semester at a partner university abroad. The study literally opens up the world to you and I hope to travel a lot in the future for my job.
I understand your concern. Sitting in front of a computer most of the time is also not very appealing to me. But the study gives you the opportunity to specialize in one of the four main subjects (Marketing & Sales, Organization & People, Supply Chain Management, Finance & Accounting) as well as through your specialization and the semester abroad (minor). Therefore, you can develop and create your own profile. And there are so many different jobs you can do with this degree. Not all of them include spending most of the time in front of a computer but also interact with people. Especially if you specialize in a language, you will also learn about the cultural differences and could work as an export manager, a relations manager or a communications advisor.

Deventer is our second largest campus. It's one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. Therefore, it's extremely beautiful and the atmosphere is amazing. There is a river with a small park, where you can walk and enjoy your time. We have a couple of clubs and quite a few cafes and bars. Another, good thing about Deventer is that it's pretty close to all bigger cities such as Amsterdam, the Hague and Rotterdam.

In relation to the masters of Business Administration, I recommend that you check our website, or you send a message to our international office so they can connect you with person studying a master of Business Administration (I'm doing a bachelor's degree). If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hoi Mel!

International Business and Languages is now renamed into International Business School (IBS). In IBS you can choose between 3 tracks: innovations, entrepreneurship and languages.
So technically this programme still exists:)

Hope to have answered your question!

Susanna

Hi Reeta!
1. You have to get at least 48 credits out of 60 possible during your first year to go onto your second year.
2. The format of the exams can vary and it can be changed every year (depending on the teacher and curriculum). There are subjects for which you have to write an assignment, or a take-home exam, a presentation, a written exam or a multiple-choice exam. These are the different forms of assessment.
3. The number of questions isn't certain for every exam but you can ask the teachers beforehand what to expect from every exam.
4. You have to get at least 55% right out of 100% in order to get a 'pass'.
5. Every subject 'weighs' different amount of ECTS. Usually it's 3-4 ECTS per subject. Projects are 6-7 ECTS.

If you have more questions, our team of student ambassadors is always glad to help :)

Hi Abdelrahman! Normally Bachelor programme in IB takes 4 years. You can try to finish it in 3,5 by combining two of the semesters in one. That’s the option available to shorten your study.

Regarding Preparatory courses, they cover majorly discussed topics so you could develop a structured opinion on most discussed things in nowadays world in English.

Glad to help!

Susanna

Hoi Jan, het kan ook in Nederland maar gedurende de opleiding moet je tenminste een half jaar in het buitenland doorbringen (kan door stage, minor of eindproject).

Hi Mitchelle! Basically it's like an extra project/-s outside of your major studies. Track expert and coach could as well be lecturers at Saxion or company's staff you're doing the project for. So it really depends on the project/company/topic you're going to be working on. I suggest that you contact Ruud Koopman for more detailed information r.g.m.koopman@saxion.nl

Hey in the third year you are going abroad for an internship for 6 month. You have to look for a company yourself but you will get the necessary support from the teachers if you cant find a place. Additionally you can do a so called minor. Where you can either go to one of the partner Universities we have around 80 i think (list can be found on the website of Saxion) or you do a project minor. Those Project minors differ and detailed information can be found on the website as well and change from course to course. Depending on the study you can do you can also have different career perspectives. In average a Saxion graduand find a job within 3 month after graduation and the bachelor is internationally accredited. I hope this could help you. If you have questions you can come to the open day or asked us for a telephone chat.

I would first go to a student house and then look for something in your secound year. If you first life in a student house you don’t need to worry about finding a place. And after a year you find Friends with wich you can rent a place.

It is a Minor focusing on doing business with China. The main aim is to insure that you develop an understandment for the culture and the people. If you want to know more you can ask me precisely.

Hi,

Welke vakken het precies zijn weet ik niet, dit zou je kunnen opzoeken op de Saxion website of bij een Open Dag kunnen vragen. De vakken o.a. zijn: Marketing, Financien, English en Professional Development. Alle vakken zijn in het Engels.

International business is o.a. gericht op marketing, sales, finance en ook vakken zoals HR, waar international finance & accounting is gericht op alleen de financiële en accounting kant van international business

Hi Philip! If you’re planning to study Master’s at a university of applied sciences after Saxion, you can do it without any problem. If you’re planning to study at a research university, you will probably have to do a so-called bridge semester (transition semester) before you start with your Master’s. This depends on the country you want to further do your Master’s at though and on particular university!

Hello Amela,

We are happy to receive your question.

I am studying 2nd year International Business and Management at Saxion Deventer. As far as I know, Deventer is smaller than Enschede, so there are not as many shops as in Enschede. In Enschede, there are more parties and events than in Deventer as well.

About the study program of IBM, the study program is really practical because we need to do projects with real companies such as Holland Casino, Krehalon, Grolsch, etc. We also can have a chance to be the best project group and win certificate and reward money.

If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to tell us.

Kaity

Hi Taya, as the programme is changing right now I´m not really sure how it is going to work. As far as I know you will choose one language (Dutch - starting at A1, German - starting at B1, Spanish - starting at A1 or French - starting at B1) and in the end you should be able to speak fluently in the chosen language (C1 - C2). As a work placement and a minor abroad is also included in this programme you will also have a lot of experience in the specific business language.

Hey Aron! Um an der Saxion zu studieren brauchst du keinen bestimmten NC. Die meisten Studenten haben ein Intake Gespräch, das ist alles. Wenn du im September anfangen möchtest, musst du dich bis Mai einschreiben um sicher einen Platz zu bekommen. Wenn du noch Fragen hast melde dich gerne!

Hi Antonia, if you’re planning to take German as a second language you have to have basic knowledge of German, and in this case the school will look at your High school certificate in order to see if you have followed German lessons in the past!
In case you don’t have it, you can choose Spanish which is taught to beginners. However, you can also take some other subjects instead of languages if you don’t want to do them at all, but I don’t know which subjects you can do exactly as I follow a different course. I hope this helps!
Susanna

Hallo, dat kan ik niet zeggen, aangezien ook geen idee heb over hoe de opleiding HBO-rechten in elkaar zit

Hello Hozan,
applied science is more practical than a 'normal' university. Therefore the classes are smaller, you have direct contact with your teachers and apply the theory from class in different projects and assignments. The Bachelor degrees at a university of applied sciences take 4 years, but it includes an internship and a semester abroad, therefore you are not really 'wasting' a year. Hope I could help you! If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. Best, Juli

Hallo Quang! Soweit ich weiß, gibt es keine Vorteile zu den Studiengebühren. Jeder muss sie zahlen egal welche Qualifikationen man hat.
Wenn dein Wunschstudium auf Niederländisch ist, musst du das Niveau B2 beherrschen, das stimmt. Dazu gibt es vor Studienbeginn Sprachkurse. Darum musst du dich selbst kümmern. Ist dein Wunschstudium allerdings auf Englisch dann ist kein B2 Niederländisch erforderlich.
Trotzdem ist es nicht schlecht etwas Niederländisch sprechen zu können da die Saxion schließlich in den Niederlanden ist. ;)

Hi Jonas,

Ob du zugelassen bist ist besprochen wahrend der Aufnahmegesprich. Hattest du schon informationen daruber bekommen? Sonst findest du alles in der Internetseite (startersinfo). Du kannst mal anrufen bei der Academy zur sicherheit.

Gruß,

Rozanne

Hi Fruzsina,

As an European student you can bring only your ID (but if you have a passport, I'd bring that as well).

This webinar might be useful for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5-_0eDM2YY

Hi Trevor!
It depends on how much you eat, of course. Personally I don't think I spend a lot, maybe around 150-200 p/month. If you're interested in a total approximate expenditure per month (incl. food, transport, etc but excluding the housing) then it's around 400-500.
However again, There are some people who spend only 200 p/month.
It depends which campus you're talking about. As for Deventer, there are 2 campuses, where in both you share a bathroom/kitchen, but have your personal room. The campuses are fully equipped (furniture, kitchen appliances, bed sheets).
Hope you have a good idea now!:)

Hoi,

Je mag mij contacteren daarvoor op 0610844787. Ik doe namelijk meeloop dagen!

Maike

Zo ver heb je geen rekenen in het eerste jaar. Daarna is het ook gelimiteerd. Economie leer je van grond nieuw dus eerdere kennis is niet noodzakelijk

Unfortunately, I can not answer your question , as I study in Deventer and do not know so much about student life in the Netherlands. However, Enschede is quite big city with two big universities, so there are a lot of students, bars, clubs. You can also contact one of our ambassadors, who live in Enschede for further details.

Ja, hiervoor kan je zeker begeleiding krijgen. Dit kan je zelf bepalen bij wie je de begeleiding wil krijgen en welke kosten je ervoor over hebt. Dit kan gedaan worden door school, maar je zou ook een andere ervaren student kunnen vragen om je te helpen, tegen een kleine vergoeding. De studenten zijn dan al ervaren en zitten vaak een jaar of meerdere jaren hoger dan jou. Is dit voldoende info?

In principe is er geen voorkeur. Hoewel, op Apple kan niet alle software die nodig zou kunnen hebben voor de les. Je zou deze oprdrachten dan op de school computers kynnen maken. Dit heeft een vriendin van mij gehad. Zelf heb ik Windows en is alles prima te doen. Qua laptop en merk verder, maakt het niks uit welke je neemt. Is dit voldoende info?

Nee, geen ervaring mee. Wat zou je precies willen weten?

60, dus moet je alle tentamen halen

Nee, ik denk het is alleen maar eenvoudiger voor de mensen die niet uit de nederlands zijn. Ik ben zelf Duits, dus voor mij zou het eenvoudiger zijn in Engels maar anders zou er geen groot verschil zijn.

Je hebt Engels sowieso, daarnaast kan je kiezen tussen Duits, Spaans of Frans. Nederlands kan alleen voor Internationale studenten. Dus je hebt in totaal 2 talen.
Als je Duits of Frans kiest moet je havo 5 niveau hebben, bij Spaans start je op niveau 0, dus bij het begin.

Depending on which Saxion housing you will live in, you will have different options. You will either share bathroom with a shower with 3-5 other students, who live with you, or you will have a bathroom on the floor, separately for men and women.

Hey Johnny, I understood your question but since I don't speak Dutch I will answer in English. Fist of all I need to know which study do you want to follow, but from my own experience all the book that are listed in the book list that is sent to you are needed. I know book are expensive, so you can buy them second hand from the older students, or if they available you can borrow them from the library.
Here is the link for the library where you can search for the books https://saxionbibliotheek.nl/searchresults and the name of the Facebook group where you ca find second hand books is: Saxion Enschede - Selling of Books
Hope this information helps you, if you have any other questions, fell free to ask.

Haha okay,
I am sorry for the misunderstanding too!
Which studies will you start with? IBMS, Tourism Management, etc?

Hey Karim! You will most probably have classes 4 times a week. Your schedule will vary from week to week but your "free" day stays most of the time the same during the first year. Your class starts earliest at 8:30. Your final schedule will be available for you when starting your studies. The year plan with the dates of holidays will be available as soon as you start studying as well, if necessary we can provide you with estimations.
I hope that answers your question. If not, don't hesitate to contact us again :)

Hallo Rina, voor deze opleiding is helaas geen student beschikbaar en daarom ontvang je van ons antwoord op je vraag. Alle studenten moeten een verplichte rekentoets afleggen. Ook krijgen IBL studenten bedrijfseconomische vakken met rekenkundige en statistische elementen. Hopelijk kun je hiermee uit de voeten! Mocht je nog vragen hebben dan kun je op deze site onder het tabje Contact de gegevens van de opleidingscoördinator vinden: https://saxion.nl/studeren/kiezen_en_kennismaken/Studiekiezer/mim/international-business-and-languages-vt-ens/international-business-and-languages-vt-ens/
Met groeten, Francis Muller

Hallo Natasja, bij de opleiding IBL mag je altijd een meeloopdag aanvragen, ongeacht je leeftijd of in welke klas je zit. Doe dit wel voor maandag 21 maart, daarna wordt de mogelijkheid om je op te geven voor een meeloopdag gesloten. Je kunt je aanmelden via https://saxion.nl/studeren/kiezen_en_kennismaken/Studiekiezer/mim/international-business-and-languages-vt-ens/international-business-and-languages-vt-ens/
Je bent van harte welkom! Met groeten, Francis Muller (Saxion Informatie Centrum)

Ik heb meer gegevens van je nodig om je goed te kunnen informeren.
Wil je een mail sturen naar info@saxion.nl met je vraag en de vermelding welke vooropleiding je hebt? Je krijgt dan binnen 3 werkdagen een antwoord.
Je mag je vraag ook stellen aan de studentenbalie op nr. 053-4871808.
Met groeten, Francis Muller

Hi Tom, we think it makes sense to speak more than one foreign language. This benefits the international relationships and intercultural awareness which are very important success factors in international business. ^Maarten
