Services
Student services
Study mentors
You will meet your study mentor during one of the first weeks of your studies. The study mentor is your first contact point should you have study problems. You will consult with the study mentor about your study plan, study progress or about important choices during your studies. If you need assistance or if you want to have a conversation about personal matters, then you can go to one of the study mentors.
Housing services
There are various solutions for housing during your study, depending on the location of your campus. Student accommodation in The Netherlands differs from many other countries: most universities do not offer housing on campus and most Dutch students find their own accommodation on the private market.
Library services
The libraries are high-quality departments within Van Hall Larenstein. They are intensively used as places where users can meet, study, lounge and hold a meeting. The media collection is used very frequently and is suited to the needs of the various study programmes at each campus location. The libraries have long opening hours.
Student Life
Campus life
VHL University of Applied Sciences is based on two locations in the Netherlands: Leeuwarden and Velp. The environmentally friendly building in Leeuwarden has green houses on its roof. The Velp site is situated on the Larenstein estate – a wonderful area for the practical ‘green’ programmes.
Sports facilities
Besides studying, you probably also want to have a nice place to live, engage in sports, go out and meet other students. In Arnhem, which is close to Velp, you can eat your heart out at the Korenmarkt, the centre of activity in nightlife. Here you also find the sororities of the student associations.
Student clubs
Do you want to have a pleasant time while studying? It can be arranged. Leeuwarden has a rich student life. The city harbours five general student associations. Besides these, there is an active student association related to Van Hall Larenstein, called Osiris.
Moreover, there are working groups in each study programme. They organise all sorts of activities on behalf of the programmes. A number of associations and working groups have their own websites, on which you can read all about their activities, excursions, lectures and study activities. The associations and working groups guarantee a lot of fun, but also provide more depth to the contents of your study.
Accreditation
All programmes of Van Hall Larenstein are accredited by the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (in Dutch: NVAO). Every six years each programme has to renew this inspection mark. In order to accomplish this, a visitation-panel will assess the programme and produce a visitation report. Every cluster of programmes is visited in a different year.
