Free Dutch course
From January 2013, international students in their first year at the University of Groningen can follow a free 50-hour basic course in Dutch. What they learn will help them get by in the Dutch streets and shops. They will also then be able to interact with Dutch students. The courses will be given by the University of Groningen Language Centre.
The weekly online video magazine Unifocus highlights topics related to the University of Groningen in the fields of research and society, student life, teaching, policy and internationalization.
