Before you arrive in the Netherlands, you need to arrange some practical matters. You need to organize your accommodation, for example. And, depending on your nationality, you might need to arrange a visa.
Visa info
To study in the Netherlands, you need the right visas and permits. Are you from the EU/EEA? Then you don’t need any visas or permits. You just need to register at city hall. Are you from a country outside the EU/EEA? Then you need a residence permit. You might also need an entry visa.

The HAN Housing Office helps international students like yourself find a room. Are you from outside the EU/EEA? You get priority: a guaranteed room. From the EU/EEA? You can go on the waiting list.
Students share their experiences
“The most unique thing at HAN was the interaction with people from different cultures and backgrounds. It was quite shocking that each of us were almost the same age, yet we’re so different.” Read more...
“I’ve learned that in a professional environment, if you don’t speak up for your problem or question, people won’t be able to help you. So, I came out of my shell. And it’s great to have a positive influence on the people around you.” Read more...
“I needed some time to adjust. But I made friends easily. It comes with a good aura. People would approach me and talk to me. I invited some of them to my house, cooked Jamaican food and we also did other fun things together.” Read more...
“The lecturers teach you, they do their part, but you also have a responsibility of managing your own stuff. Lecturers are always ready to support their students. Even if it is not their task.” Read more...
