About 8,000 students work across the three faculties in the city of Assen, as well as few others in [[Meppel]] and [[Emmen, Netherlands|Emmen]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.drenthecollege.nl/over-drenthe-college/ |title=Over Drenthe College |website=Drenthe College |access-date=8 November 2019}}</ref>

The difference between the two institutions is that the former is only given in Dutch and is more "work in the field" orientated. Meanwhile, the latter is an international university of AS that provides Bachelors's and Masters's studies in English (see [[education in the Netherlands]]).
