4 July - 1 August 2026
Our summer school is a great opportunity to study an intensive short course at a Dutch university. Over the years we have inspired thousands of students from around the world to travel to the Netherlands to experience high quality education with an international focus.
Our work is guided by five pillars of academic excellence: entrepreneurship and international business, health and wellbeing, sustainability and innovation, society and governance, and peacebuilding.
Follow your passion, or just pick a course and experiment with something new!
