Hotelschool The Hague 2025 Erasmus+ Programme

Erasmus+ is a programme funded by the European Commission aimed at providing people, especially students, the opportunity to develop their skills abroad. Hotelschool The Hague has been a proud holder of the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) of Erasmus+ for many years. Our students can apply for the Erasmus+ grant for their second and fourth-year internship or exchange programme.

The programme provides not only a grant contributing to their travel and living costs but also the unique possibility of enhancing their professional and personal skills. This experience equips our students with highly valued skills for the labour market, such as communication, language and intercultural skills. Students are encouraged to enhance their language skills through courses offered through the Online Language Support (OLS) and access to the Interrail pass to promote sustainable travel.
