A private Dutch university of applied sciences (hogeschool), founded in 1969 and English-taught, with campuses in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Eindhoven. It teaches business, entrepreneurship, hospitality, tourism, events and marketing; bachelor's degrees run three years and master's/MBA one year, with paid internships built into the programme and small classes. A Foundation programme raises English to entry level for students who need it. The school's graduate-employment, visa and ranking figures below are its own published claims — verify them directly.
- Programme structure (tio.nl): English-taught bachelor's degrees completed in three years and master's/MBA in one year, plus associate and pre-master routes, across business, entrepreneurship, hospitality, tourism, events and marketing. Paid internships are part of the study programme, and the school states classes are small (an average of about 10 students).
- Four campuses — Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Eindhoven. As a private institution, Tio states it places no cap on the number of international students it can admit.
- Foundation programme for students whose English is below entry level: fee €12,475 plus a €250 application fee; entry from IELTS Academic 5.0–5.5 (6.0 for the MBA) or equivalent TOEFL / PTE / Cambridge / TOEIC; runs under 6 to 12 months depending on the starting score; September and January intakes (tio.nl/en/netherlands/foundation-programme, accessed 21 Sep 2026).
- Housing: the school lists Amsterdam options at roughly €1,000–€1,400 a month (Cityscape Residence) and about €1,200 a month plus €250 services at the Tio Tower, and says it arranges accommodation for international students. Confirm availability and price for the specific campus and year.
- Support for international students: visa-arrangement help and airport pickup on arrival, an annual career event linking students with employers (tio.nl). Ask Tio for the current bachelor and master tuition, and its NVAO programme accreditation, before applying.
- The school's own performance claims — treat as the school's figures and check before relying on them: 99% visa acceptance; 95% of students find a job within three months of graduating; and top rankings for many years in independent Dutch surveys (National Student Survey, Higher Education Guide, JOB monitor). Ask Tio for the source, year and cohort behind each number.
