The ideal university town
Utrecht is the ideal university town, with a vibrant student and social scene, lots of cultural heritage and a central location making it a perfect place to travel from. Let yourself be charmed by the canals and cobbled alleyways, stroll the high-street fashion shops, or hang out with your classmates at any of the dozens of cafes, bars, restaurants and nightclubs.
One of Europe’s most multi-cultural countries
Many international companies choose the Netherlands as their base because of its high proficiency in English, central location, and strong business culture. English is more widely spoken here than anywhere else on the continent, and the Dutch are known for their openness, tolerance, and progressive mind-set. In fact, more than 160 nationalities co-reside in the Netherlands, making it one of the most multi-cultural countries in Europe.
