The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) is a secure, hands-on environment where they can develop and innovate as global citizens – to come together to share in development, networking and practice. This is how University plans to shape and change the world we live in, while they develop their own knowledge and skills.
THUAS lecturers, partners and 26,000 students from nearly 150 different countries are dedicated to this development every day. The global, innovative attitude is reflected throughout our curricula and in our four central themes: The Next Economy, Quality of Life: People and Technology, Good Governance for a Safe World and Connected Learning. They also work closely with over 300 exchange partners from more than 50 countries, from Brazil and China to Australia, USA and several European countries.
University encourages students, lecturers and partners to develop into open-minded global citizens – to stand firm in their own convictions and face the world. They realise that their own professional commitment makes a difference and all must work together to develop and apply creative solutions.

It is home to the Peace Palace, International Court of Justice, Binnenhof (parliament), 115 embassies, multinationals like Shell, Siemens and ING and many international NGOs.
