Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas) Scholarship

Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas) is a specialised Dutch university known internationally for its programmes in tourism and leisure management, hotel and facility management, games and media, logistics, and built-environment studies. For talented non-EU/EEA students it offers merit-based partial tuition-fee scholarships that reduce the institutional fee for an English-taught Bachelor's or Master's, awarded competitively on academic record and motivation. BUas is small, highly international and closely linked to industry, with strong graduate employability in the global tourism, events and creative-technology sectors. For Sri Lankan students aiming at hospitality, tourism, games or logistics careers — sectors directly relevant to Sri Lanka's economy — BUas is a focused, practice-oriented and comparatively affordable option. Exact scholarship value, eligible programmes and deadlines are set each intake, so confirm current terms on the BUas website.
