Student Support

Saxion offers a comprehensive and personalized support system to ensure every student can thrive academically and personally. From the moment of application, International Office advisors and study coaches provide guidance on visas, housing, and academic planning. During studies, dedicated student counsellors offer confidential support for personal issues, study delays, or disabilities, arranging necessary accommodations. Academic support includes writing centres, tutoring programmes, and study skill workshops. Furthermore, each student is assigned a mentor or study career coach who provides regular one-on-one guidance on progress, module choices, and professional development throughout their academic journey.

Student Life

Student life at Saxion is vibrant and multicultural, offering a rich blend of academic, social, and cultural activities. The campuses buzz with events organized by study associations and the central student council. Cities like Enschede and Deventer provide a classic Dutch student experience with numerous cafés, theatres, and sports clubs. Saxion actively promotes integration between Dutch and international students through introduction weeks, buddy programmes, and frequent social events. Whether it’s participating in a city festival, joining a student committee, or simply relaxing with friends in the campus square, students find ample opportunity to build a fulfilling social life and create lasting memories.

Housing facilities (Accommodation)

Saxion understands that finding a home is crucial for new students, especially those coming from abroad. Therefore, the university offers a guaranteed housing service for first-year international Bachelor’s and Master’s students who apply before the deadline. This service provides access to a portfolio of furnished rooms and apartments in partnership with reliable housing agencies like the Sociale Huurdienst (SHD) and other providers. Accommodations are typically within biking distance of the campuses. While Dutch and EU students often arrange housing independently, Saxion’s housing office provides extensive advice, resources, and warnings about rental scams to assist all students in securing safe and suitable accommodation.

Student Safety

Saxion is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all students and staff. Each campus has its own security team and clear safety protocols. Buildings are accessible with student cards, and public areas are well-lit and monitored. The university provides regular safety instructions, including online modules on topics like digital security and laboratory safety. A confidential advisor for undesirable behaviour is available to support students facing issues of harassment, discrimination, or aggression. Furthermore, Saxion collaborates closely with local municipal safety teams and police to address broader community safety concerns, ensuring a secure and respectful living and learning environment.

Career Support

Saxion’s Career Services form a robust bridge from education to employment, offering support throughout a student’s journey and beyond. Services begin with workshops on CV writing, LinkedIn profiling, and interview skills. The highlight is the organization of large-scale recruitment events like the Saxion Career Days, where students meet potential employers. Each school has a dedicated internship and graduation project coordinator who helps students find placements aligned with their career goals. Furthermore, alumni networks and mentoring programmes connect current students with Saxion graduates in the field. This comprehensive approach ensures students are not only qualified but also strategically prepared to enter and succeed in the job market.
