In order to improve student success of MBO-students in HBO, this study looks from both sides (MBO/HBO) at the mix of activities undertaken in MBO/HBO to facilitate the transition. The question is to what extent a combination of these programs has a reinforcing effect by: describing active components of programs/activities, following MBO-cohorts on their way to and in HBO and holding interviews/focusgroups with study coordinators and students. This in collaboration with and by the participating MBO/HBO institutions. Based on successful practical examples, concrete and practical tools will be developed in order to give educational institutions tools to improve the MBO/HBO-transition.
