Breda University of Applied Sciences
NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences is a higher education institute located in Breda.
NHTV’s roots date back to 1966, the year when the Dutch Scientific Institute for Tourism (NWIT) is founded in Breda. The core fields of activity of this institute are tourism, recreation, languages and economy. In 1987, NWIT merges with Traffic Academy Tilburg (VAT), founded in 1972, to become the Netherlands Institute of Tourism and Transport Studies (NHTV). In the years that follow, the educational offerings are extended and NHTV becomes a specialised higher education institution. NHTV develops an increasingly international outlook, which ultimately leads to a new name in 2001: NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences. In the academic year 2009/2010 an academic Bachelor programmes in leisure sciences started. An acedemic Bachelor programme in tourism sciences is being prepared.
