   Getting in

   What it costs

   HAN does not publish a tuition fee in the information available here; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in the Netherlands will still need to be budgeted for separately, including housing, food, transport, and health insurance.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm it on the programme page before applying. Also check whether your intended programme is available to students from abroad, what documents are needed, and how the university handles visa, residence, and enrolment steps.

   How it compares

   Among the 49 universities in the Netherlands, HAN stands out as a public university of applied sciences rather than a broad research university. Its appeal is narrower but clearer for applicants who want bachelor’s study in the humanities and related subjects within a large applied-sciences institution in Gelderland.
