Course programme

At VU-NT2 you take a Dutch course that suits your own ambitions and abilities, during the day or in the evening. Two to four times a year our various group courses start at the lively VU campus at the Zuidas (business district).

Each course consists of one or more modules, from beginner to advanced level. After application, you will be assigned to the group that best suits you based on your language level. VU-NT2 also offers in-company and customized Dutch courses.
