The Hague (known in Dutch as Den Haag) is the third-largest city in the Netherlands and the seat of the Dutch government. Higher education providers in The Hague include a number of universities of applied sciences as well as other specialist institutions.
‘The Hague’ is actually an anglicised version of ‘s-Gravenhage, meaning ‘the count’s hedge’ and harking back to the days when Den Haag was a hunting ground for the Dutch nobility.
Nowadays, The Hague is a bustling modern city and the centre of Dutch politics. Though the city is primarily associated with diplomacy and jurisprudence, postgraduate students in The Hague nonetheless enjoy access to a busy nightlife, many popular annual events (including the largest free open-air music festival in Europe) and a wide range of entertainment venues. The Grote Markt is a vibrant town square full of busy bars and restaurants, while the city’s outstanding museums and galleries include the Mauritshuis, the Gemeentemuseum and Escher in Het Paleis.
The Hague is also home to a number of important palaces, monuments and other historical sites associated with its ongoing prominence as a major European city. Travel to other parts of the Netherlands, or elsewhere in Europe, is made convenient by the city’s coastal location and strong overland transport links.
As well as being the major administrative centre for the Netherlands, The Hague is also home to a large number of important international organisations and institutions, including major judicial centres of the United Nations. This prestige is reflected in many of the city’s academic institutions, which specialise in international law.
Universities and higher education institutions in The Hague include The Hague Academy of International Law, as well as various members of The Hague Academic Coalition: a consortium of higher education institutions specialising in international law, international relations politics and international development studies.
Postgraduate courses in The Hague are also available at the city’s various universities of applied sciences (referred to as hogescholen in Dutch), which specialise in professional and vocational programmes.
The Hague is an important centre for international diplomacy and law, hosting the International Court of Justice and many other global organisations. These include Europol, the European Patent Office, the NATO Communications and Information Agency and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2013).
