The HAN International Introduction is coming up. We have important information to share with you, both online and offline!

Are you a Dutch student? Dan vind je alles over de introductieweek van de HAN op han.nl/intro.

Newsletters & Social Media

Prior to the introduction on location at HAN, the International Office will be in touch with you online during the months prior. As of mid June, we'll send you information about the introduction week in 3 separate newsletters (If you missed it, please see the attachment below). Plus, you can follow us on our International Intro Instagram page. This part of the orientation will give you lots of fun and useful info about studying at HAN and living in the Netherlands. It’s all pretty relaxed. You don’t need to be anywhere in particular for this part. You could be soaking up the sun somewhere on your holiday. HAN International Office will be in touch!

What do you need for the online part of the intro? A laptop, phone or tablet. Internet connection. Instagram. Comfy chair. Too easy!

Instagram page and webpages
 

Study, life, fun. That about sums up the topics on the HAN International Intro Instagram page and our webpages for international students. So, firstly think of practical things like your HANaccount, HANcard, scholarships and immigration matters. Then there’s living in the Netherlands. Think of public transport, finances, health. And the city of Arnhem or Nijmegen. Finally, the fun stuff. Like activities organized by student organizations, learning about the Dutchies, their culture and language. And last but not least, info about what to do in your free time. Check out the Instagram page and the webpages!

Not able to join us on Instagram? Don't worry! You can soon find the (upcoming) Instagram info videos we posted via the link below.
