Your start as THUAS-student
Introduction of your programme
Each degree programme organises its own introduction. Do you want to know what your degree programme has in store for you? From the end of June, you will find a link here to your program’s starting information page. On this page, you’ll find useful, fun, and important details about things like your class schedule, book list, your exact start date, and what you need to get ready.
THUAS Introduction Week
You’re probably curious about the university of applied sciences, your degree programme, your class, fellow students, and lecturers. In addition to your programme’s own introduction, you are also very welcome to join the introduction activities for all students of The Hague University of Applied Sciences. Here, you’ll meet even more new people and discover everything the university has to offer.

Warm Welcome Week
For early arrivals
Some of you might be planning to arrive in the Netherlands a little earlier than the start of the semester and the introduction organised by the degree programme you will join.
From Tuesday August 18 till Thursday August 20 between 11:00 and 15:00 you are very welcome to come to the Innovation Playground to meet with some of the other students that have arrived already.
There will be drinks and snacks for you to enjoy while you exchange stories. We also have a number of activities planned for you (no need to sign up beforehand, you can do that on the spot) and we are very happy to answer questions you might have about living or practical matters of student life in the Netherlands. The Innovation Playground is located in the Atrium of the main building of THUAS in The Hague. See you there!

Accommodation
Still looking for a place to live in The Hague or one of its satellite cities? Please check the information on our housing page.
Laptop and software
For your studies, it is important that you have a well-functioning laptop at your disposal with a webcam and microphone. The Hague University of Applied Sciences offers students the opportunity to purchase software cheaper than the retail price through the non-profit organisation Surfspot. Look for the options and conditions on Surfspot.
Finalising university enrolment
If you’re not enrolled yet, Osiris Student (login using your @student.hhs.nl account) will tell you exactly which steps you have left to take. Once you’ve done everything, in both Studielink and Osiris Student your application status will switch to enrolled. This will also be confirmed to you via e-mail.
If after checking Osiris Student you’re still in doubt as to what you need to do, please feel free to contact the Enrolment Centre. Or have a look at the general information on application and enrolment.
