Cluster Education
Welcome to the Fontys Cluster Education page.
Our Cluster Education consists of 3 Fontys schools, spread out over the south of the Netherlands. In both Sittard and Tilburg we have a school of Teacher Training for Secondary Education and in Tilburg, Eindhoven, Venlo, ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Veghel we have a school for Child Studies and Education. We have recently made the shift towards a cluster cooperation on internationalisation to improve the quality, relevance and efficiency of our processes and programmes in relation to internationalisation.
Currently it is the School of Teacher Training for Secondary Education Tilburg that offers two English taught exchange programmes, The BEES programme and the minor GDI. At the moment we do not offer a full English taught bachelor. International students with knowledge of the Dutch language can opt to take part in Dutch taught courses in all 3 institutes.
Partnerships and possible destinations
Within the Cluster of Education, we have partnerships with more than thirty educational institutes throughout Europe and the U.K.
We value the opportunities that this network affords our faculty and students to explore education from different cultural perspectives both during student and staff exchanges and in collaborative project work.
