What can you expect in terms of study costs? Each year, you’ll pay tuition fees, but you can also apply for student finance. You might incur travel and accommodation costs for your internship, depending on its location. Study costs are usually highest in the first year, as this is when you buy most of your books and possibly a laptop.

Save the dates August 26-30, 2024, in your calendar, because that's when the Open Up Intro Week for International Social Work takes place! It's a fun week full of activities to get to know your fellow students, the HAN, the city, and the program. You don't want to miss it, so sign up now.

In the first year, you get to know the working field directly through practical learning. An internship can be part of this. You start working on this in your classes at the beginning of the school year and will also receive further information and help here. So you don't have to be concerned with this before the start of your studies.

Do you need extra support because of special circumstances? Special circumstances are for example a disability, chronic illness, informal care, family circumstances, or involvement in elite sports. Take a look at: https://www.hanuniversity.com/en/study-and-living/studying-at-han/student-services/special-circumstances/ or send an email to: seniorstudycoaching.isw@han.nl

As of now, it is also possible to submit all your practical and student experience questions by joining the WhatsApp group of D’Oasis. following this link. Yes, it’s D + Oasis.

D’Oasis is an important part of the International Social Work (ISW) Bachelor program, because it’s a place for students to be themselves to share and explore various themes they learn in classes, internships, and even life. What’s even more exciting is that it’s a student community entirely run by students with full support from everyone at ISW. Over the summer, you can send questions and their board members will assist you. This is also a great way to meet new fellow students and get to know the Netherlands too.
