Are you an alumni from Novia UAS?

The alumni network is for everyone who has studied at Novia University of Applied Sciences or one of its predecessor institutions and who would like to remain part of the Novia community after graduation.

You can read more about the history of the institutions that became Novia here.

As part of our alumni network, you are a natural part of our wider community. Here, you will receive up-to-date information, tips on continuing education and opportunities that can support you in your career.

Through alumni relations, you can stay in touch with friends from your study years and expand your network through new and valuable connections. If you have been an exchange student with us, you are of course also warmly welcome to join the alumni network. With your experiences from both your studies and working life, you can contribute valuable perspectives that help strengthen our education and give future students insight into life after graduation.

We would love to stay in touch with you and continue to follow your journey.

Get involved as alumni

Our alumni are highly valuable to Novia. Alumni are important carriers of experience, knowledge and inspiration. Would you like to help develop our degree programmes and give prospective and current students an insight into life after graduation?

Guest lecture or welcome a company visit

Would you like to inspire current students? As a guest lecturer, you can share your experiences and talk about your work, your field and your own career journey.

Welcome study visits

Many degree programmes and student associations organise visits to companies, public authorities and organisations. Would you like to welcome students to your workplace and show them what everyday working life looks like? It gives students valuable insights and at the same time creates new connections.
