An international outlook
Knowledge has no borders and knows no boundaries: it is universal. In fact, since its inception, the University of Groningen has had an international character. Why? By attracting genuine talent, irrespective of the country of origin, we ensure quality of teaching and research. Moreover, the interaction between international and Dutch talent inspires and stimulates exchange of knowledge. An increasing number of international students are interested in coming here and more Dutch students want to be part of an international environment. Going abroad for an international experience is no longer the only option: home should be an international environment as well.
