Welcome to Nijmegen
We invite you to study in the oldest
town of the Netherlands. Nijmegen also known as Nimègue, Nimwegen or
Nimega was founded by the Romans on the banks of the river Waal, the
main branch of the river Rhine. Later it became one of the residents
of Charlemagne. This background is still visible today, making
Nijmegen a very attractive city. With its slightly higher altitude, it
is known for its beautiful views over the surrounding river landscape.
In addition to academic activities, you will find lots of
opportunities like museums, cinemas, shops, restaurants and bars, and
not to mention the green and hilly countryside with plenty of water
and space for cycling, inline skating and of course walking. Each year
on the third Tuesday in July some ten-thousands walkers from all over
the world visit Nijmegen for a 4-day
walk-a-thon, one of the world's largest walking events.
Studying on a University in general, and studying abroad in
particular, needs good preparation. On this site you will find
information on Studying in Nijmegen in gereral and additional information for exchange students, regular students , Flemish and German students. The information on this site
will however not be complete. So, if your are interested, please feel free
