What do you need for the online intro?

  • Instagram
  • A comfy chair

It’s that easy!

Instagram page and webpages
 

Study, life, and fun—these are the main topics covered on the HAN International Intro Instagram page and our webpages for international students.

First, you'll find essential information on practical matters like your HAN account, HAN card, scholarships, and immigration processes. Then, get helpful tips about living in the Netherlands, including public transport, finances, healthcare, and life in Arnhem or Nijmegen.

Of course, it's not all about the practical stuff! We also share exciting content about student activities, Dutch culture, language, and ideas for what to do in your free time.

Check out the Instagram page and the webpages for all this and more!

Not on Instagram? No worries! Soon, you’ll be able to find all the Instagram info videos posted on the link below.
