All HU programmes develop and adhere to an internationalisation strategy that is responsive to the needs of their respective professional fields. In HU’s latest ambition plan HU in 2026 international cooperation, worldwide challenges, SDG’s and global-citizenship play a prominent role. On this page you find information on experience and expertise within and outside HU, with regard to internationalisation policy, vision and strategy. HU also has an internationalisation network. For questions related to this network you can contact nikolien.vanlidthdejeude@hu.nl (OO&S).
