The Hague student city
Studying in The Hague can make a big difference. The Hague is proud to be known as the international city of peace, justice and security. The city is full of opportunity and is a fantastic student city.
Attractive student city
The Hague is an attractive place to live. There is good reason why it is rated as one of the most attractive student cities in world rankings. The Hague has eleven kilometers of beach within cycling distance of the historic city centre. This is the perfect place to take a breather.
City by the sea
Fancy catching some rays, or just chilling by the sea? With 11 kilometres of beaches almost in your backyard it’s not difficult to conjure up that holiday feeling in The Hague. And in the summer there are some great beach parties going on there.
The world in your backyard
Studying in The Hague broadens your perspective on the world and quickly gives you an international network. And in addition to housing the Netherlands’ ministries and government bodies, many big companies are also headquartered there. Plenty of internship opportunities then. And in our The Hague Campus you can follow lectures given by professionals from the real world. Studying in a city full of embassies, multinationals and international courts certainly has its advantages!

Álvaro Jimeno Flores (student Crisis and Security Management): 'The Hague is undoubtedly the hub for anyone interested in international relations. The city is rich with international organizations and political relevance. It has charming cafes, sports bars, and museums, and I love studying at the Royal Library. The city’s European lifestyle is easy to adapt to, and Dutch people are genuinely welcoming.' -
Sarah Vega (student International Studies): 'In my free time I love to go out with friends to cafes, brunch places, workshops such as jar making, ceramic painting classes… My favorite café is Bootjes, you get rowed in by a boat because it’s in the middle of a tiny island. I also love to do yoga and pilates, and dance lessons at the university sports center.' -
Timothée Demoustier (student Global Challenges): 'The Hague is a very pretty city to bike in or nice to just walk around. Culturally speaking, there’s a lot of things to do. There are museums and the city houses many embassies. There’s a park next to where I live so I usually go on runs with my friends. We have picnics there as well. My favorite cafe is called ‘Café Bleu’. It’s along a canal, kind of hidden away and a really small sanctuary in the middle of the city. Really cute.' -
Filip Krcmar (student Security Studies): 'In The Hague I enjoy going to the beach in Scheveningen, sightseeing in the city, or joining cultural events from student communities like Mundus. My favorite bar is Milu – on Wednesdays they have half-price cocktails, so it’s always a great spot to go with friends.'
Social activities
All our programmes in The Hague have their own study association, and there are also student associations. These organise study trips, lectures and numerous social activities. This means that students quickly make friends and start to build a network that will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives.
Sights for sore eyes
If you have spare time on your hands, there is so much to see in The Hague. Such as the Peace Palace, the Mauritshuis, Noordeinde Palace, the Binnenhof, Madurodam and the Pier.

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.
