About Student for a Day

We match you with one of our international students currently enrolled in the study programme of interest to you. Together, you set a *date suitable for both of you, on which you can come and explore: join an actual class, meet with lecturers, visit the International Office or a student hotspot in the city. You can do anything you like to experience what Saxion has to offer you.

*Please note tha we need at least two weeks to process your request. If your request for a visit is within two weeks we will of course do our best to comply but it is possible that we may not be able to.

Anyone can take part! And if you’d like to bring a friend or your parents, that’s possible too!

Together with the student with whom you are matched, you decide *when and where you meet up. Depending on your preferred study programme, it will be in Enschede, Apeldoorn or Deventer. Are you unable to travel to the Netherlands? No problem! Our students can also set up an online programme. Just make sure to indicate this on the sign-up form.

*Please note that we need at least two weeks to process your request. If your request for a visit is within two weeks we will of course do our best to comply but it is possible that we may not be able to.

Sign up here from October 2023 and one of our students will contact you via email within *two weeks.
