Dutch for expats and international employees

Are you working in the Netherlands (temporarily or otherwise) and would you like to learn Dutch? Welcome to VU-NT2!

VU-NT2 offers language courses to learn Dutch at all levels for highly educated expats and international employees. From group courses in Everyday Dutch, Dutch for Work and Study and Dutch for Work and Study SPRINT (if your first language is German, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian or Afrikaans), to incompany courses and individual courses for professionals. VU-NT2 is located at the vibrant VU campus at Zuidas, Amsterdam's business district.

Check out our course programme 2025-2026

What can you expect?
You will learn the language you need to enjoy living and working in the Netherlands, from beginner to advanced (level A1 to C1). You practice speaking and listening a lot and quickly feel familiar with the basic phrases for everyday use. The group courses give you the opportunity to expand your network with people of different nationalities and backgrounds, which makes learning Dutch even more fun.
