Hanze is the largest university of applied sciences in the Northern Netherlands. We were also the first university of applied sciences to found an International Business School in the Netherlands. Moreover, we are the only large higher education institution in the country with both an art academy and a conservatory of music. But why would you choose to study at Hanze?

If you’re looking to study abroad, look no further than Groningen. There are several reasons why Groningen was voted the Netherlands' best student city by students. This city has earned its reputation for offering a perfect balance between studies and personal life. A great mix of history, innovation, and fun makes it an ideal place for students from all over the world.

We are a diverse team of students from all over the world, passionate about sharing everything you need to know about our international bachelor's and master's programmes, our campus, the teaching style at Hanze, and the vibrant student life in Groningen. With our first-hand experience, we're happy to help—so feel free to reach out to us!

Finding a new place to live can be difficult, especially when you are moving abroad for the first time. In the Netherlands, student housing is regulated differently from most other countries. In fact, students have to arrange accommodation themselves. Many students are looking for housing at the same time and the current housing shortage can be a disadvantage in your search.
