Iselin Hogeschool is an ambitious university of applied sciences in the east of the Netherlands. Even though it is a relatively small HEI, it is one of the three best-rated primary teacher training colleges in the Netherlands, according to the HBO Keuzegids 2018. Quality and innovation of education are greatly valued within the institution, just as personal attention for each student and collaboration with various partners involved in education (e.g., research institutes and primary schools). Iselin Hogeschool has always been firmly anchored in the region, but it has also aimed to look beyond the Dutch borders for the last few years when it comes to acceptable practices in education.
Iselin Hogeschool is ambitious in realizing its educational vision and boosting educational innovation in the region. We are a small-scale independent university with strong regional solidarity and an inspiring national network. In close cooperation with the professional field, we offer students innovative higher education so that we train them to become competent, creative 'opinionated' teachers.
