Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (RUAS for short) is a dynamic knowledge institute for higher professional education.

Over 36,000 students and around 3,500 members of staff are pursuing their career here - the typical Rotterdam way. Through our Rotterdam Educational Model we provide practice-focused, well-considered, flexible education that allows all of our students and staff to play an important role in real, innovative projects. We teach them how to play that role and provide them with the necessary tools: an expert view, a lot of nerve, and a result-focused approach.
