International Lifestyle Studies Fontys University of Applied Science

At ILS, you learn how to thoroughly analyse trends. And then how to translate these insights into new, creative, and future-proof concepts. We teach you how to visually present your research results and how to shape, test and improve concept designs. In the first two years, you do this for seven lifestyle sectors: Food, Living, Appearance, Health, Human Movement, Leisure and Work.

Entry requirements

As a prospective Bachelor's student you must have a diploma of higher secondary education that is equivalent to Dutch standards. This means:

For Dutch students:

• VWO-, HAVO- or MBO-diploma level 4

For students of other nationalities:

• International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB programme)
• General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) and General Certificate of Education (GCE). Requirements: at least 6 different exam subjects in total. Minimum for the examined subjects is 4 GCSE subjects with grades A*, A, B or C and 2 GCE subjects at A/S Level (no specific grade required). A/S Level means advanced subsidiary level (previously advanced supplementary level)
• Any equivalent education (to be compared by our institution)

Since every country has its own school system we will check your diploma once we have received it from you. In this way we can compare it to the required Dutch standards.
