Technical labs

The different labs at Nexus
At Fontys Technology, technical labs and facilities form the core of our education and research. Students and researchers work with professional equipment to design, build, test and improve technology. The labs are closely connected to current applications from the professional field and are used for education, projects and practice-oriented research.
In this environment, students learn to work with technology as it is used in professional practice. Companies also make use of these facilities for collaboration, experimentation and innovation.
