Study Abroad in The Hague, Netherlands

With the addition of more campuses recently, The Hague has become more student friendly and offers even more options for academic courses. Rest assured, you won’t have problems taking courses in English because the Netherlands was the first non-native English-speaking country to offer international programs in English.

Popular subjects to study. The Hague exudes a hodgepodge of diverse cultures, so foreign languages and linguistics are some of the most popular courses. French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish are just the tip of the windmill. With The Hauge’s diverse population, you’ll also likely be able to practice your target language in language exchange clubs as well! Other courses focus on solving global problems in the fields of law, business, environmental studies, natural sciences, and more.

Short term and summer programs vs. long term programs. Programs are available in the fall, summer, spring, throughout the year, and for a full academic year. Summer classes are a great way to earn more credits while studying abroad, and the summers offer warmer weather and more sunshine. More academic course options are available for longer-term programs, so you’ll immerse yourself longer in a new culture, but the winters are generally cooler and darker.

Attending universities vs. other program types. The majority of programs in The Hague are available through third-party programs that have partnerships with universities in The Hague; the program will help you arrange many of your needs and act as an intermediary between you and the university. You could also look into programs directly with universities in The Hague or through your own university, but it’s best to talk with your university’s study abroad office to help match you with your educational needs and more.

Stepping into a new culture can be daunting and yet exciting at the same time. When I first arrived to The Hague I was so excited to finally experience life in another country and culture, but I quickly realized how scary and difficult it can be to remove yourself from the familiar, the comfortable. To me, studying abroad is all about learning to expand your horizons and put yourself out there. It is the perfect opportunity to discover yourself in a new way and grow as a person. I was very nervous that I would go through this experience without making any real friends, but boy was I wrong. I made some of the closest friends I've ever had and now I have meaningful connections across Europe! I would be lying if I said there weren't some tears shed at the airport when I left. Thuas is such a good school in my opinion. The building itself is gorgeous, but the people are even better. It's a welcoming environment with classes taught by passionate instructors. I enjoyed all of my lecturers during my exchange. Also, the city itself has so much to offer. Exploring the beach, new cafes and parks are some of my favorite memories there. Another cute town super close is Delft, which I highly recommend. So fun to explore especially once spring and summer finally arrive. Amsterdam is also pretty close, and that city quickly became my favorite in the world these past several months. Dutch weather may be windy, but trust me the second the sun comes out everything seems to come to life around you, it's really a cool thing. I can't recommend The Hague enough, but in general I believe that doing a study abroad will benefit you no matter where you go!

Highly Recommend!
