The Netherlands
Studying at HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht and living in the Netherlands will give you so much more than a great study experience in a wonderful city. The country has a lot to offer too!
Situated in western Europe, the Netherlands is bordered by Germany, Belgium and the North Sea. In fact, around one-fifth of the country is land reclaimed from the water, something the Dutch have been doing for centuries. The Netherlands has a longstanding tradition of global trade, so you'll find it a very internationally oriented country.
