The Hague University of Applied Sciences has the ambition to be the most international higher education institute in The Netherlands. The Nutrition and Dietetics programme actively contributes to this aspiration by internationalizing their staff, students and courses! By offering study experiences abroad, internships in other countries and a cross-border orientation throughout the entire course we stimulate our students to develop and acquire international competencies. As such, we give courses a global feel by inviting guest speakers and students from all over the world to talk about topics of global concern. We cooperate with colleague universities from all over Europe and encourage student collaboration within virtual environments such as Skype, Facebook and other means. A noteworthy event is the international conference that is part of our parttime programme. Organized by third year students, this conference welcomes alumni, (international) professionals from the working field, staff and students. The aim of the conference is to offer possibilities to build an international network, communicate on research in another language, think of work field related problems from an international perspective and of course, create a great learning experience for our students.
