HAS Green Academy Programmes Ranked Among the Best in the Netherlands
15 October 2025, Netherlands: Two international bachelor’s programmes at HAS Green Academy — Horticulture & Business Management and International Food & Agribusiness — have been awarded the prestigious Top Rated Programme distinction in the Keuzegids Universities of Applied Sciences 2026. In addition, HAS Green Academy has once again been recognised as the Best Green University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, reaffirming its leadership in agri-food and environmental education.
The Keuzegids, an independent national study guide, evaluates all bachelor’s programmes across the Netherlands and grants the Top Rated mark only to those that perform significantly above average. The recognition highlights excellence in key academic areas such as student success, curriculum quality, professional readiness, and a supportive learning environment.
For international students, this distinction underscores HAS Green Academy’s position as a top destination for those seeking to build global careers in the rapidly evolving agri-food sector — one that increasingly demands innovation, sustainability, and business-oriented thinking.
“Having two of our international programmes receive this quality mark is an important recognition,” said Hans van Zuijdam, Director of the Agri & Business cluster at HAS Green Academy. “It confirms our strong position within the agri-food sector and reflects our commitment to offering education that combines academic depth with real-world relevance.”
The recognition not only strengthens the institution’s academic standing but also benefits the wider agricultural and food industries by ensuring a steady flow of graduates who are equipped with practical experience, entrepreneurial drive, and a global perspective. These professionals are well-prepared to address the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of food and agriculture worldwide.
