Stenden South Africa is an International Branch Campus of NHL Stenden in the Netherlands. NHL Stenden has a long and diverse history of academic performance. Its teacher training degree program goes back over 100 years. However, Stenden is anything but an old-fashioned …Institution. As the turn of the century was approaching, Stenden (back then operating under the name CHN University) chose to launch a pioneering concept known as the ‘Grand Tour’. The Grand Tour is an old European custom whereby youngsters were encouraged to travel and see the World before settling themselves in a career. Stenden had the desire to re-invent this concept and incorporate it into the different degree courses it offers. By establishing international campus sites the vision to offer a truly international education experience materialized.
Today Stenden offers higher education at campuses in the Netherlands, Thailand, Indonesia, Qatar, and South Africa. The main program offered at each campus site is a hospitality management and this program is currently offered in Port Alfred as well.
