Netherlands-Asia Honours Summer School

The Netherlands-Asia Honours Summer School (NAHSS) will prepare you for a future with Southeast Asia and China as major players on the world stage.

About the programme

In the NAHSS programme, you learn about Asia through a preparatory track and summer programme that includes academic, business and cultural aspects. During the preparatory track, you work with students from different universities and with various academic backgrounds on a consultancy project, attend lectures by Asia experts, visit multinationals, and work on your soft skills.

After the preparatory track, you  travel to Asia for the summer programme. There, you get the opportunity to work on case studies with societal impact, visit important multinationals, and of course explore the culture.

Study programme and time investment

NAHSS in short:

  • Taught in English.
  • Starts in March with a kick-off weekend.
  • Preparatory track of 5-10 hours per week from March to June.
  • Three weeks in Asia in July - August.

The collaborative nature of the NAHSS made me push myself outside of my comfort zone and interact with other fields and studies.
