Organization
Fontys University of Applied Sciences presents itself as a learning community, which means that the focus of learning is on the development of professional and personal competences in small student groups, in close interaction with the society. Fontys maintains close relationships with industry, business and public services.
The overall management of Fontys University of Applied Sciences lies with the Executive Board. Both the Executive Board and the individual schools call upon the Fontys Support Unit for a range of services. The Support Unit itself comprises a series of departments including ITC services, Student facilities, Administration and Domestic facilities.
Fontys is based in the south of the Netherlands near the border with Germany and Belgium. The two largest Fontys campuses are located in the cities of Eindhoven and Tilburg. In Venlo, Fontys has recently established an International Campus.
