About the country

About the Netherlands

The Netherlands, on the North Sea coast, is known for its canals, windmills, flat landscapes and cycling culture. The official language is Dutch. The country is also known for its trading and seafaring past and its innovative approach to design and architecture. Its capital, Amsterdam, welcomes visitors with a seventeenth-century canal ring, well-known museums and an international atmosphere that blends history with modern city life.

Programmes in the Netherlands are based in Amsterdam and focus on general Dutch courses. They suit people with a close interest in Dutch culture, or those planning future academic or professional ties with the country, whether taking their first steps in Dutch or improving an existing level. Learning the language while living the daily rhythm of a Dutch city helps what you learn in class really stick.

  • A multinational society where English is also widely spoken
  • One of Europe's major transport hubs
