Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUAS)

A school that trains students to become ‘Toerist Officier’ (Tourist Officer)– that was the idea of Mr Sliepen, director of the Breda Tourist Information Office, back in 1963. This school was to be a national scientific institute, consisting of a research department and a course programme. As this school was new of its kind, educational material was mainly obtained through its own research efforts.

Breda University of Applied Sciences offers professional and academic bachelor’s and master’s programmes in the disciplines of Games, Media, Hotel, Facility, Logistics, Built Environment, Tourism and Leisure & Events.

Breda University of Applied Sciences is committed to developing knowledge – through applied and academic research – as well as innovative solutions to problems occurring in the various disciplines. The domains within which we conduct research are strongly interrelated and we try to make subject area crossovers whenever possible. Explore the eight research domains here.

Our organisation has a strong international orientation. In cooperation with national and international industries, we train our students to become professionals capable of operating in  globalising work and knowledge settings. Breda University of Applied Sciences aims to create a stimulating environment for both students and staff in order to enable them to develop their talents to the fullest possible extent, to integrate knowledge and skills and apply these to society in a professional and responsible manner.
