Student for a day Urban Studies

Date
Thursday 3 April 2025
Time
Location
Wijnhaven
Turfmarkt 99
2511 DP The Hague

Currently, about 50% of the world's population is living in cities and knows all about the opposing aspects of urban life. In the Urban Studies programme you will explore how cities are coping with issues related to economic growth, social cohesion, safety and sustainability, and which future challanges they will face.

What is a Student for a day event?

During a Student for a Day event you will attend one or multiple first-year lectures. A current student joins you at the lectures and shows you around campus. Of course there is enough time to answer all your questions about the programme and studying in The Hague!

Who can take part?

The Student for a Day event is intended for people in their last years of pre-university education (like 5/6 VWO) or students of a (Dutch) university of applied sciences. Have you visited the website, watched the programme video and visited the Bachelor's Open Day? Then a Student for a Day event is the perfect moment to experience whether this programme suits you.
