Core values of a catholic school

Students core values

INES as a University of Applied Sciences

• In 2008, a research to analyze the position of

HLIs in relation to the labor market needs.

• Results: a big discrepancy between academic

products and the labor market needs.

• Biggest issue not really with offered programs

but the way they were offered;

• After

consulting with stakeholders and experts from the Netherlands and Germany, the concept of University of Applied Sciences was adopted in 2010 as the solution.
