History

[edit]

Windesheim University, as it exists today, was established in 1986 through the merger of several educational providers. This merger occurred gradually over several years. It brought together the Academy for Journalism, the Academy for Social Studies from Kampen, and the School of Physical Exercise from Arnhem, to form the new institution. Most of the participating educational providers were based in Zwolle and included Higher Education in Economics and Administration (HEAO), Higher Education in Engineering and Technology (HTS), College of Education, School of Nursing, Academy of Journalism, and Higher Education in Information Technology.
