Student services
Our study choice advisors are also available to help you make the right study choice during the corona crisis. Not in person at THUAS, but online or over the phone. You can use this period to take the time to explore and research your interests and the opportunities that are available.
Housing services
The Hague is bursting with culture and creativity and offers students an all-round experience, from galleries packed with Dutch masters to idyllic beaches and parks and buzzing nightclubs. It's a small- scale, hospitable city with an international attitude. We understand that you would like to live in such a radiant city, needless to say, there is a shortage of student accommodation in and around The Hague.Therefore, THUAS cooperates with accommodation providers who offer student rooms to our firstyear incoming international students who do not yet have a registered address in the Netherlands.With this service, THUAS can assist approximately 50% of the incoming students.
Library services
The library catalogue searches the following resources: books (40,000), journals (200), CDs and DVDs and a subset of the e-books (100,000) and e-journals (20,000). The shelf marks and availability are shown.

Practical learning in The Hague
I really enjoyed the practical nature of my study, and the individual way of assessing our skills. The Hague is expensive, and the culture, well I am from Berlin, not very interesting, when you study at this school and you don't know the right people. Living is expensive, but the cheapest is close to the Uni. Generally nice for studying.
