The academic year officially starts on August 31, 2020. It will be determined per course whether the academic activities will start in the first week of September or slightly later. This will be communicated to you once a decision is reached. However, the start of your study will take place in a special period of time. For the time being, these adjustments relate to the first semester (i.e. September 2020 - January 2021). To find out how the academic year will look like per course select the specific course on the homepage.
In order to facilitate on-campus education during corona times, we have set up measures that apply within all of our buildings. Check here the safety measures applicable in all of our buildings and scroll down to English. At the moment classrooms are being facilitated for written exams that cannot be taken online, laboratory classes and practical classes.
At the moment many educational activities are offered in an online format. The schedules remain the same as long as the degree programs do not signal modifications.
Travel restrictions
Students who are not able to come to the Netherlands due to travel restrictions can start the program 100% online for the duration of the travel ban. This means that you will be allowed to start the academic year and remain in your home country only if there is an exit ban enforced by your national authorities or an entry ban enforced by the Netherlands government.
All Inholland-locations are open from 8:30 am until 5 pm in order to facilitate written exams and on-site education. An update on opening hours during the new academic year will follow as soon as possible.
Do you, as a current student, have questions related to online education? Go to the Online Educational Support platform on Iris. We will share information on this platform, which we will expand step by step. Your degree program informs you on how online education is offered to you the upcoming months. Here you will find a good overview of current COVID-19 measures.
We adhere to the guidelines of the RIVM and the GGD (Municipal Health Services) to ensure the safety of our students and campus facilities.
We receive a lot of questions related to the coronavirus and contaminations in the Netherlands and other countries. In general, we follow the guidelines of the RIVM and the GGD (Municipal Health Services). As a student or employee, you can consult the section Coronavirus Know & Organize on Iris for other questions.

Most certainly! Right before the start of the academic year, several introduction activities will take place which will allow you to get familiar with the study programme and meet your fellow students.
Due to the coronavirus we will make use of online alternatives to ensure a smooth introduction. We will keep you posted! For updates, please do keep an eye on the MyStart app.
On-campus classes are cancelled. Online classes are an alternative. If your classes are being offered online, your programme will inform you.
If an examination is cancelled, you will be informed by your degree program on how they can be made up for. Your degree program will also inform you about other possibilities for doing examinations, for example through online channels. So, ask your degree program for more information and the latest developments.
Your schedule still applies, unless you receive information by your degree program that tells you otherwise. We are currently working on transferring all education to online tools as much as possible. In the meanwhile, continue working on your assignments and preparing for your examinations as well as you can.
Of course we do not know how long these measures will be in place. However, we do expect that many educational activities will take place in the months of June and July (and perhaps August).
All physical Study Checks have been cancelled until at least June 1st. As soon as we have news on possible online Study Checks, we will inform you.

Housing shortage for students in the Netherlands is quite a familiar issue. Unfortunately, we do not provide student accommodation Inholland. We advise all students to start looking for accommodation at least 4 months prior to arrival. We provide assistance via the accommodation page so you know where to find a student room or apartment per Inholland-location. You can easily contact the international office on this page as well.
During your stay in the Netherlands you must follow the rules that have been imposed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These rules apply to everyone in the Netherlands.
See the Q&A's Travel restrictions for the Netherlands (EU travel ban) on updated information about the travel restrictions.
See the FAQs about tourism in the Netherlands and COVID-19 measures on updated information with regard to health and safety measures upon arrival at Schiphol, and the Netherlands
As long as the measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus disease are in place, we will offer online education under the 80/20 rule. The aim is to provide around 80 percent of your education online and 20 percent on campus. With regards to on-campus education, we will prioritize certain student groups such as graduates and, from September onwards, first year students. This selection will, of course, be based on developments concerning the coronavirus and the measures imposed by the government.
Check your study programme to find out whether your laptop needs special requirements. Log in to the Inholland network with your Inholland account and get started with your assignments. Everywhere in our buildings we offer places where you can work independently or with your fellow students and use your laptop.
Education offered by Inholland will continue but in a different way. It is our duty to continue to provide education, especially during times like these. We will continue to put effort into online education. The lecturers are responsible for setting up guidelines for you. First year students will be assigned to study counselors who will answer your questions.
At the moment no education activities are taking place at any of our locations. We are taking different scenarios after 1 September into consideration. Decisions will be made when the relaxation of measures are announced. We will not be able to kick off the new academic year in a “normal” fashion as the capacity of our classrooms is limited. We are doing our utmost best to secure a safe study environment for your child.
Our education at Inholland will take current affairs into account. Issues related to the coronavirus and related imposed measures will be reflected in your child's education. For example, students of Tourism Management will tackle questions such as “How will tourism look like after the coronavirus outbreak?”.
For the upcoming academic year, the aim is to provide 80 percent of your education online and 20 percent on campus. With regard to on-campus education, we decided to prioritize certain student groups such as graduates and, from September onwards, first year students. This selection is will be of course based on developments concerning the coronavirus and the measures imposed by the government.
