[edit] History
Hanze UAS was founded in 1986 as the merger of various local institutes for professional education, the oldest of which is the Academy Minerva, founded in 1798, which was the first multi-sectoral institute for practical higher education in the Netherlands. The mission of the Academy Minerva was “The improvement of Drawing, Construction and Nautical Sciences, together with the aligned Arts and Sciences, within all ranks of society, and in particular to improve the skills of the disadvantaged.[3] Throughout the centuries that followed many more institutions, engaged in a wide range of different fields, were established.
In 1986, Groningen was the first city in the Netherlands where 16 of the 24 smaller institutions joined forces to create one large university of applied sciences.[4] This was a result of the government paper “Expansion, Division of Tasks, and Concentration in the Higher Educational System”.
The name Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen is linked to the Hanseatic League (Dutch: Hanze).
[edit] Locations
With the city of Groningen embedded in this university of applied sciences' name, one would think that it is only located in Groningen. However, this is not the case, as Hanze UAS also has locations in Assen (Hanze Institute of Technology), Leeuwarden (Pop Culture), and Amsterdam (Dance Academy). [5] Nevertheless, Hanze (UAS) is a true Groningen university of applied sciences, with the remaining 16 out of 19 schools located in this university city.[6]
