Internationalisation is an important tool to improve the quality of education and research at HAN. We work closely with partner institutions on exchange programmes, international projects and international applied research. We offer degree and non-degree courses in English and every course curriculum has an international component.

What’s it like to leave home? To leave behind your family and friends so you can live and study in the Netherlands? How does it feel to study at an internationally oriented business school and be surrounded by over 60 nationalities every day? We asked four students to share their experiences with you.
