In order to achieve this, entrepreneurship, creativity, personal and professional responsibility, and internationalisation are key focus areas in our study programmes.
How do you study at NHTV?Effective learning is not something that you do alone. After all, it is precisely through cooperation and debate with other students and lecturers that you learn to develop knowledge actively. That is why NHTV has adopted the teaching model of the learning community. Students and lecturers from different (cultural) backgrounds and areas of expertise work together on real-life problems taken from the inter-national professional field. In this process, you will learn to use different perspectives and develop an open mind to alternative approaches.
What do we expect of you?The success of a learning community depends on the full participation and support of everyone involved - lecturers, tutors, but especially you as a student. That is why we expect serious commitment from you when it comes to preparing for lectures and projects. Through coaching and feedback we will teach you to take responsibility for your individual learning process and for your role in cooperation with lecturers, fellow students and industry professionals.
We also expect you to gain meaningful experience abroad and to design a personalised plan of study by making your own choices, just think of work placements, optional programmes, and additional activities. Of course, we will be there to help you make these choices.
What can you expect of NHTV?Our lecturers will create opportunities for independent learning and active cooperation for you. To this end, they use digital resources, ensuring that more time can be devoted to interaction, in-depth exploration, supervision and feedback in class. With the community concept in mind, it is essential for lecturers to participate in national and international networks, encourage cooperation with national and international industry professionals, and contribute to strengthening the link between education, research and industry.
The core of the learning environment is formed by real-life cases and assignments from professional practice aimed at inspiring students towards active and collaborative learning. Entrepreneurship is promoted by offering possibilities for developing specific ‘entrepreneurial skills’ and you can even do a graduation project within your own business. All in all, you are truly encouraged to get the best out of yourself.
Within each study programme, there are possibilities for extra guidance and support, for instance, if you have a disability or learning difficulty. More information on this subject can be found at www.nhtv.nl.

NHTV boasts various knowledge and research centres. In addition, the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science has appointed two Centres of Expertise at NHTV - one in the field of Tourism, Leisure, Hospitality and one in the field of Logistics.
What Makes the Dutch Education System Unique?The higher education system in the Netherlands is based on athree cycle degree system, consisting of bachelor’s, master’s and PhD degrees. What makes the Dutch system unique? Respect for each individual’s opinions and convictions is a national virtue that gives strength to the fabric of Holland’s diverse and plural society. This virtue is also reflected in the education system. The teaching style can be described as interactive and student-centred, providing students with the attention and freedom they need to develop their own opinions and creativity while applying their newly acquired knowledge.

What about the costs?The statutory tuition fee for students from the EEA is d 1,984 (except for IMEM). You should take into account the costs of text-books, readers, the introduction week, study trips, a laptop and your daily expenses and costs of living.

Foreign EEA* students can apply to the Dutch Ministry of Education for a student loan. For conditions and more information, please visit www.duo.nl - international visitors.
What do I need to arrange to reside legally in the Netherlands?If you want to study in the Netherlands, certain things will have to be arranged.
EU/EEA* students:> You need to register with the municipal personal records database at city
hall of the city where you are going to live. Non-EU students:> Before arrival: All non-EU students need an ‘MVV’ and a residence
permit if they stay in the Netherlands for longer than three months, except students with the following nationalities: American, Australian, Canadian, Monegasque, New Zealand, South Korean and Japanese. Students with these nationalities only need to apply for a residence permit. It is not allowed to enter the Netherlands on a tourist visa for the purpose of study. Only NHTV can apply for your ‘MVV’ and/or residence permit. More information will be given upon admission to the study programme.

The Netherlands: a kingdom The Kingdom of the Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy with a bicameral parliament. The current king is King Willem-Alexander. His wife Máxima is the Dutch queen. They have three daughters: Amalia, Alexia and Ariane.
Capital city: Amsterdam Amsterdam, one of the most romantic and beautiful cities in Europe, is known for its tolerance and diversity. It has all the advan-tages of a big city: culture, night-life, international restaurants, good transport - but is quiet, and largely thanks to its extensive canals, has little road traffic. In Amsterdam your destination is never far away, but you should really get a bike for an authentic local experience.
Holland Facts Holland or the Netherlands? The country’s formal name is Kingdom of the Netherlands, but it is also referred to as Holland or the Netherlands. Netherlands means ‘low countries’. Much of the land is at or below sea level. The lowest altitude is 6.76 metres below sea level.
21
BikingThe bicycle is the cheapest and easiest way to get around, especially if you live in the city. Most Dutch people, regardless of their professional status, own a bicycle.
Water, wind and cows The country of the Netherlands is extremely flat; you can see for miles around. While looking around, you will see a broad, unbroken expanse of sky, bright green meadows with hundreds of cows and water everywhere. That is characteristic of the Dutch landscape.
