The topics covered in these modules may vary per semester, but we promise you that they are always connected to your development of the important skills in global business; and trends in the world of international business, e.g. business & artificial Intelligence, branding and advertising, just-in-time logistics and global supply chain management, cyber security in business or international trade.
It doesn’t matter what you are studying, everybody can participate in the Academy. It is important that you are ready to be open to new ways of learning and to invest in your personal development. Skills that you will definitely need are flexibility, proactivity, adaptability and you should not be afraid to make your own decisions. You don’t expect a formal ‘school’ structure, but you are prepared to work like you would in the real business world. For that you probably need courage, critical thinking and enthusiasm. Are you that person? Please: apply for the Acceleration Academy.
Exchange students are expected to have a good command of English. It is not compulsory to provide us with a Proof of English proficiency.
Applications should always be submitted via the International Exchange (or Erasmus) Officer at the home university. If several versions of the programme are offered, please indicate for which version you would like to apply to (Programme I, Programme II, Programme III, etc.) This officer will send your application request (nomination) to Fontys. Once Fontys has accepted the application, your Fontys study department will send you a link to a web application called Mobility Online.

Fontys will provide you with a so-called ‘Transcript of Records’, which will clarify the results that you have achieved. Depending on your results, you will receive a maximum of 30 ECTS credits. ECTS credits are recognised throughout Europe. The agreement between your home university and Fontys University of Applied Sciences will usually include a condition whereby the credits that you obtain will be recognised and transferred into the records kept by your home university.
