The Hague student city
The Hague is a fast-growing student city in the Netherlands, offering great studying and career opportunities to students from all over the world.
Upcoming student city
The Hague has been Leiden University’s second location since September 2010. In the meantime, six of the seven Leiden University faculties in The Hague Campus are now active there. The Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs is completely and exclusively located in The Hague.
Leiden’s big brother
As the Netherlands’ third city, The Hague is a lot bigger than Leiden. Yet all the university buildings are within walking distance of one another in the city centre. Do you have to travel to Leiden regularly? No problem, it’s just 11 minutes away

The Hague is a cosmopolitan city, and still remains liveable and personal. Everything in the entire city is barely more than a stone’s throw away. -
Including the seaside. Step on a tram in the historic city centre and within fifteen minutes you’ll find yourself on The Hague’s eleven-kilometre long beach. -
People come to The Hague from all over the world to work together on solutions to global problems. With the Peace Palace at the centre of it all, The Hague is truly the international city of peace and justice. -
The beautiful, historic ‘Binnenhof’ is viewed in the Netherlands as the symbol of the Dutch government and of Dutch political life. The Upper and Lower Houses of Parliament meet here, and houses the office of the Prime Minister. -
In The Hague, everything is surprisingly nearby. Gazing straight into the eyes of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring is just a beautiful, five-minute-walk away from losing all sense of perspective at Escher in Het Paleis.
Close cooperation between education, business and politics
The Hague is the beating heart of Dutch politics. And in addition to housing the Netherlands’ ministries and government bodies, many big companies are also headquartered there.

Going out
Finished an exam, or just feeling the urge to let your hair down after a hard day’s studying? In The Hague you’ll find plenty of places where you can do just that. Like Millers or Danzig on the square, for example, or you can go with friends to Paard van Troje (Trojan Horse), a celebrated local pop temple near the Grote Markt. And remember, Thursday evening is student evening.
