Education
A burning question for many will most probably be how we will be providing our education. We will start online and we will continue to provide our education online, until further notice. However, as of latest October we will also start offering some classes at our campus in Leeuwarden. Therefore, if you can travel, we wholeheartedly invite you to start your student life here with us in Leeuwarden!
Study Start Days and start of module 1 (August 31st – September 4th, 2020)
You may have been previously informed that our Study Start Week (SSW) was to take place during the last week of August. Due to the current restrictions and circumstances however, NHL Stenden has recently decided to combine the SSW activities with the first educational week. Please find the programme and information for our online Study Start Days, starting August 31st, 2020 on this webpage.
