The program in a nutshell

Your classes and workshops take place Monday through Friday. Here you learn theory. Work with your classmates on projects and assignments. You also go on site visits. And meet weekly with your supervisors. To discuss your progress. Ask questions. Gain perspective.

You work in a small group on a final assignment. In the Architecture in Health studio. You and your group meet with experts in engineering, healthcare and (facility) management. ICT and (care) technology. And put together your presentation: the design and construction of a smart, healthy living environment for people in need of care.

Dutch way of learning

The atmosphere in a Dutch classroom is quite informal and your lecturers are easy to talk to. In fact, at HAN you’re seen as a partner in the learning process. Class sizes are small and your lecturers encourage you to actively participate in class. To ask questions and give your own opinion. They also stimulate you to be creative and to discover things for yourself.

What about credits and grading?

At HAN we use the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, or ECTS. It’s the standard credit system used in higher education across Europe. How does it work? One credit = 28 hours of study. Think of contact hours. Time spent working on assignments. Preparing for exams.

One semester = 30 credits = 840 hours of study. To earn credits, you need to pass your exams. What counts as a pass? A grade of at least 5.5.
