Location and accommodation

Dronten, Netherlands

The Netherlands

The Netherlands, known for its flat landscape, many rivers and a national virtue of respecting each individual’s opinions and convictions, was the first non-English speaking country to offer higher education conducted in English especially designed for foreign students. Dutch culture is famous for icons such as cheese, clogs, windmills, van Gogh and tulips but the Netherland's culture has so much more to offer.

The Netherlands is a kingdom and its official name is the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The country’s formal name is Nederland, meaning 'low country', referring to the fact that much of the land is at, or below sea level.

The Netherlands is situated in the west of Europe and borders Germany to the east, Belgium to the south and the North Sea to the north and west. It is a relatively small country of just over 41,000 square kilometres, with a population of more than 16 million people. Many European capitals are within easy reach from the Netherlands, where the German, British and French cultures meet. A short flight from Amsterdam will take you to Paris, Madrid or Berlin and London is within easy reach thanks to the eurostar train service.

A considerable amount of the Dutch wealth is contributed by the financial sector- Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is one of the world's major financial centres and houses a numerous regional and global economic organizations. The second largest city of the Netherlands, Rotterdam, is the home of one of the world's busiest ports. The Dutch merchant marine is well developed, and tourism is a substantial industry.

Dronten, the Netherlands

Dronten is a relatively new town, with 40,000 inhabitants. People migrated to work in the new, Province of Flevoland in the 1960's, after the land was reclaimed from the sea and turned into the current polder.

Today, Dronten is far from being a pioneering community and has developed into a beautiful, provincial town, made special by its modern amenities, and affluent, easy atmosphere. The population is a good cross-section of modern Dutch society. Dronten offes a good selection of shops, sports facilities, medical care centres, cultural activities, a theatre, cinema, various restaurants and bars.

Dronten is characterized by open spaces, modern architecture, green areas and parks. It provides an ideal student destination with lots to do and a vibrant, easy going vibe.

Almere, the Netherlands

As the youngest city in the Netherlands, Almere has a short lifespan, but so much to offer. The city originated as a settlement of homes for the expanding population of Amsterdam after World War II, and was originally named Zuidweststad, or South West City. The name Almere comes from Lake Almere, which covered the area thousands of years ago.

Students in Almere benefit from a smaller-sized city through which they can find their way with ease and proximity to most places. However, Amsterdam is very close, offering all the benefits and excitement of a big city for exploring and adventure.
