Your classes and workshops take place mainly on Tuesdays and Fridays. You also have practical work, excursions and/or guest lectures on Wednesdays or Thursdays. You learn about nutrition. Nutrition physiology. Exercise physiology. And health education.
You undertake several knowledge tests throughout the exchange program. And put that knowledge into practice in 4 small group interventions. You think up an individual coaching plan.

Dutch way of learning
The atmosphere in a Dutch classroom is quite informal and your lecturers are easy to talk to. In fact, at HAN you’re seen as a partner in the learning process. Class sizes are small and your lecturers encourage you to actively participate in class. To ask questions and give your own opinion. They also stimulate you to be creative and to discover things for yourself.

What about credits and grading?
At HAN we use the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, or ECTS. It’s the standard credit system used in higher education across Europe. How does it work? One credit = 28 hours of study. Think of contact hours. Time spent working on assignments. Preparing for exams.
One semester = 30 credits = 840 hours of study. To earn credits, you need to pass your exams. What counts as a pass? A grade of at least 5.5.
