Classes also at Olympic Training Center

Your home base during this program is Nijmegen. Your student room, the HAN Sports Facilities, the HAN School of Sport and Exercise and the introduction are all in Nijmegen. But some classes are in Arnhem: in the Olympic Training Center Papendal. So you travel to Papendal once a week.

Why study in the Netherlands?

The Netherlands has a large population of international students so you won’t feel alone. In fact, 1 in 10 students is an international student. Why? Because the Netherlands has excellent, affordable higher education. It also has a thriving economy (18th in the world) so there are plenty of job opportunities. What’s more, the Dutch are open-minded and almost everyone speaks English.
