Good to know

  • 3th September 2012 is the first lecture day, but the academic year starts with the introduction week.
  • When planning your year, take a look at the holidays in the academic year 2012-2013.
  • Most students have a job on the side. Take a look at the bijbaantjes (mostly in Dutch, sometimes also for international students), maybe there is a job for you.
  • BeBreda.com is the student website for all (future) Breda students. On this site you find a lot of information about student city Breda.
  • Becoming a member of a student association is a good way to make many new friends in no time.
  • NHTV supports Tandem Language Learning: you learn Dutch from a native speaker, while at the same time you teach your own language to the Dutch person.
  • To improve your English, you can take an English language preparatory course.

Keep in touch

  • The Insight Students keeps you informed about everything an NHTV student needs to know. During your study you receive the Insight in your mailbox every week, but you can already keep in touch with Insight on Twitter and Facebook.
  • NHTV is also on Twitter and Facebook. The messages of NHTV are not especially aimed at students, but may sometimes be interesting to you.
