Study abroad as a HAN bachelor student
Studying in the Netherlands is already quite an experience for many international students. Why not take this experience to the next level with an exchange in another country? Bachelor programs at HAN have one elective semester, also known as a minor. Communication and International Business require you to go abroad for your minor. For all other bachelor programs, doing your minor abroad is optional, but highly recommended. So if you're studying anything from Chemistry to Automotive Engineering to International Social Work, you can go on exchange!
