Hanze’s approach to learning
A university of applied sciences
Hanze is a Dutch university of applied sciences. This means that its education is strongly connected to professional practice.
Students combine theory with practical assignments, projects and teamwork. They develop professional knowledge as well as communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills.
Applied sciences or research university?
The Netherlands has two main types of higher education. The main difference is how students learn.
Universities of applied sciences focus on:
- practical and career-focused learning;
- projects and teamwork;
- applying knowledge in professional practice.
Research universities focus more on:
- academic theory;
- scientific research;
- independent academic study.
Both are recognised forms of Dutch higher education. The best fit depends on how a student prefers to learn and what they want to do after graduation.

These experiences help students build professional confidence and learn how to work across cultures.
International experience
Students can use different parts of their degree to build an international profile. Depending on the programme, this may include:
- a semester abroad;
- an international internship;
- a minor in another field;

This gives students room to shape part of their study around their own interests and future plans.
International opportunities depend on the individual programme, partner agreements and eligibility. Students should always check the current options with Hanze.
Student life in Groningen
Groningen is one of the Netherlands’ best-known student cities, with a large student population and an international atmosphere.

Students can also connect with international communities and student organisations during their studies.
Housing: start your search early
Students in the Netherlands normally arrange their own accommodation. Housing in Groningen can be difficult to find, so international students should start searching well before arrival.
Hanze provides information about reliable housing options, but accommodation is not guaranteed.
