A stay abroad always amounts to more
than the sum of its parts. Together,
meeting new people, being immersed
in a new culture and exploring a different
country make for an enriching experience.
The Netherlands is a fantastic country
and has always been geared towards
international trade. The resulting open
attitude towards people from other
countries remains a trademark of
Dutch culture. Utrecht is located in the
heart of the country and has a population
of approximately 300,000 and a long and
colourful history, which is reflected in its
old city centre. Utrecht is home to many
highly educated people. Around 70,000
young people study in the city and enjoy
its rich cultural life. HU University of
Applied Sciences Utrecht is one of the
largest colleges of higher education in the
Netherlands, with over 38,000 students.
Nevertheless, our students still experience
the educational environment as small-
scale and personal. This makes HU
University of Applied Sciences Utrecht
a great place to make friends which you
will cherish for the rest of your life.
