The HAN International Introduction is coming up. We have important information to share with you, both online and offline!

Online and on location 

Online

Prior to the introduction on location at HAN, the International Office will be in touch with you online during the months prior. As of the beginning of December, we'll send you information about the introduction in 2 separate newsletters. Plus, you can follow us on our International Intro Instagram page. This part of the orientation will give you lots of fun and useful info about studying at HAN and living in the Netherlands. It’s all pretty relaxed. You don’t need to be anywhere in particular for this part. You could be soaking up the sun somewhere on your holiday. HAN International Office will be in touch!

What do you need for the online intro week? A laptop, phone or tablet. Internet connection. Instagram. Comfy chair. Too easy!

Study, life, fun. That about sums up the topics on the HAN International Intro Instagram page and our webpages for international students. So, firstly think of practical things like your HANaccount, HANcard, scholarships and immigration matters. Then there’s living in the Netherlands. Think of public transport, finances, health. And the city of Arnhem or Nijmegen. Finally, the fun stuff. Like activities organized by student organizations, learning about the Dutchies, their culture and language. And last but not least, info about what to do in your free time. Check out the Instagram page and the webpages!
