Nuffic was founded in 1952 to help Dutch Universities attract more international students. It succeeded!
It is wonderful to see that you have all chosen to study at a Dutch University or higher education institution. To celebrate your presence in the Netherlands, we would like to offer you the ‘Day of the International Student’ on 8 November. We are looking forward to seeing you there.

Years ago, I went to the United States to do postdoctoral research after completing my PhD in the Netherlands. It turned out to be a wonderful experience from which I still reap the benefits.
Following part of your study programme abroad is investing in your future. You meet people with an entirely different background and learn to adapt to a different environment. This increases your personal scope, and as a result also your prospects in the labour market.

The Hague is an international city. Many leading international organizations in the field of peace and law are located here. But even more important for the international and cosmopolitan atmosphere in The Hague is your presence. The more than 3,500 international students who study here at eight different schools and institutes are what really make The Hague an international city.
You, as international students, bring a wealth of knowledge and cultural backgrounds with you from your home countries. That enriches this city, and this country. And when you have finished your exchange programmes, you take new knowledge and experiences back home with you. The Hague welcomes you, the new generation of world citizens, with open arms!
