Sara, International Teaching Education Currently working in Spain

“At the end of the programme, we can teach our chosen subject anywhere in the world at international schools. There’s also the possibility to work in regular or bilingual schools, but the requirements depend on both the country and the individual school.

Every year includes an internship, which was the reason I chose this faculty: it’s truly unique in the world.

In my case, I went to Spain and Belgium, but you can go anywhere in the world, always in an international school.”

Giulia, Human Resource Management

“I’m really enjoying my experience at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences!

For my application, I got help from Goingdutch, who supported me throughout the entire process, handled all the necessary documents, and allowed me to focus on my final year and graduation exams, while Goingdutch took care of all the bureaucracy.

Their support was absolutely essential for me. If you also want to study in the Netherlands, you won’t regret it, and it can be extremely helpful to work with people who know the system and can give you the right advice.”
