NOVI University Of Applied Sciences

Vocational universities in the Netherlands

NOVI University Of Applied Sciences, Dutch: NOVI (Nederlands Opleidingsinstituut Voor Informatica), is a private Dutch HBO (vocational higher education) university of applied science (Hogeschool) located in Utrecht with a branch in Maastricht. NOVI is the oldest Dutch educational institution for research in Information technology. Its roots go back to 1958 when the nonprofit foundation (stichting) Studiecentrum Administratieve Automatisering (SSAA) was established by several Dutch academics affiliated with the faculty of economics of the University of Amsterdam. The goal was to facilitate the automation of industry in the Netherlands. The SSAA created the first Dutch examination program in the field of administrative information management, the AMBI, in 1964. At the time of its creation, AMBI was the highest qualification possible in the field and the only one on HBO level. The SSAA adopted the name Studicentrum NOVI in 1971. Due to financial problems in the early 1980s the stichting was dissolved and its education department was sold to private investors, continuing to function as a private teaching institution, achieving the statue of a Hogeschool (university of applied sciences) in 1997. The university offers bachelors in several IT fields including business informatics, software development and cyber security.

Stadion Galgenwaard
Stadion Galgenwaard

Stadion Galgenwaard (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌstaːdijɔŋ ˈɣɑlɣə(ɱ)ʋaːrt]) is a football stadium in Utrecht, Netherlands. It has been the home of the FC Utrecht since 1970. The stadium, which underwent a renovation starting at the beginning of the 21st century, has a capacity of 23,750 spectators. The stadium reopened in 1982 after an extensive facelift. At the time it was one of the most modern stadiums in the world, especially due to the moat around the pitch. After twenty years FC Utrecht felt the need for expansion and renewal. The main stand was moved to the North side and opened for the start of the 2001–2002 season. The old main stand was rebuilt after that and a year later FC Utrecht had two new stands along the sides of the pitch. Last season, the goal stands were replaced, and the stadium now has 23,750 seats. Seven international matches of the Dutch national football team have been played in the stadium. The first was a friendly on 27 April 1983 against Sweden which ended 3–0 for the visitors. The most recent, played on 3 September 2004, was also a friendly: a 3–0 win against Liechtenstein. The stadium was also the host of 2 World Cup finals. In 1998, the Dutch hockey team became world champions, beating Spain in the final 3–2. In 2005, the final of the Football World Youth Championship was played in the Galgenwaard. Argentina won, beating Nigeria 2–1. During the UEFA Women's Euro 2017, the stadium hosted 4 group stage matches.
