For universities of applied sciences – Dutch: ‘hogescholen‘ – there are no general international rankings. In the Netherlands, there is a ranking called the ‘Keuzegids‘ (choice guide). For these rankings, the perspective of the students and the university are considered. The ranking is based on success key figures of the universities, expert assessments for the accreditation of the programmes as well as results of the National Student Survey (NSE). Each year Viaa ranks in the top five for all study programmes. In 2020, Viaa ranked number 1 for three of its four study programmes: Nursing, Education and Social Work.
