General information

The Language Centre of the University of Groningen offers Dutch language courses at multiple levels intended for different target groups. We teach our Dutch courses on-site as well as online. Read here about everything you can expect from an online language course. In this comparison grid, you can see the exact differences between our interactive online group courses and our Online Dutch courses.

Your Level > Office Hour

The University of Groningen Language Centre Dutch courses for non-native speakers are described in terms of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). This is a reference framework developed by the Council of Europe that provides a basis for comparing language proficiency levels and interpreting test scores.

If you want to register for a Dutch course and you have not followed a course with the Language Centre before, you must visit the office hour. You can only register for a course if you have been given the matching advice.

Dutch for University of Groningen Students and Staff
