## About

The Hague is the political heart of the Netherlands—quiet, organised, and serious. International organisations cluster here, which means internships and entry-level jobs for English speakers are more plentiful than elsewhere. The city has a diplomatic atmosphere and lower tourist noise than Amsterdam, though rent is slightly higher.

- International Business programme is fully English-taught with a September intake via direct Studielink application.
