Course in Dutch language and culture for Indonesian students

After a successful pilot in 2012, Nuffic Neso Indonesia has joined forces again with the Erasmus Taalcentrum and the Dutch Embassy in Jakarta to offer a free course on Dutch culture and language.

The course is meant for Indonesian students who have been admitted to a full-time degree programme in the Netherlands, starting in the summer or autumn of 2013. During the course there will be special attention for the higher education system and the difference between studying in Indonesia and the Netherlands.

Forging lasting ties

The aim of the course is to help participants feel at home in the Netherlands more quickly, which should help them make the most of their studies. It may even inspire them to enrol in a follow-up course alongside their study programme.

In the long run the language and culture course could also lead to better preparation for an internship or job in the Netherlands after graduation. It is a first step in forging lasting ties between alumni and the Netherlands.

Registration

The courses will take place in Semarang and Jakarta in the evening hours and will start in the second half of May. All students with an admission letter from a Dutch higher education institution can register for the course, and students are placed on a first-come, first-served basis. In total there are 115 seats available in both cities combined.
