Textbooks

What textbooks do you need?

You can find your book list on the page of your degree program. Click on the "Practical info" menu at the top right then click on "Order your textbooks online". There you’ll find your book list and the cost of your books.

Studystore will cease to exist

Normally you could order your complete booklist online at Studystore, but this company will cease to exist. More info will be posted here when an alternative becomes available.

Studystore has suffered technical problems this academic year and has not been able to resolve them. Did you order your books at Studystore? Then your textbooks may be delivered later or they may not be delivered at all and you’ll get a refund. You can no longer place new orders. Do you have any questions about this? Contact Studystore customer service.

Readers and syllabi

Besides books, you usually need readers and syllabi. You can buy them at the Campus Store on the HAN Campus. The Campus Stores are located at Kapittelweg 33 in Nijmegen and Ruitenberglaan 31 in Arnhem.

Good to know: during school holidays the readers are not sent because the Campus Store is closed.
