Radboud University

Introduction

Established in 1923 and situated in Nijmegen, the oldest city of The Netherlands, Radboud University has 7 faculties and counts over 20,000 students. We offer 35 English-taught Master’s programmes with a number of specialisations, which will give you the necessary skills and insights into research and practice within your own subject area.

Our personal approach to teaching - offering plenty of opportunities to work closely with professors and fellow students in small seminars - ensures that the university does not become a mere 'degree factory'. We foster an open intellectual climate, in which we inspire and challenge each other and where each individual’s personal qualities are able to flourish.

Our university wants to contribute to a healthy, free world with equal opportunities for all. We care about diversity and inclusivity - about 100 nationalities are represented on campus (2022). The 2021 National Student Survey has revealed that current students feel everyone at Radboud University is treated equally and is safe to express their opinions. Radboud University highly appreciates your talent and and offers an extensive number of scholarships and student services to support you.
