The Dutch Language module has been designed for international students who will start their studies at Windesheim. The aim of the modules is very practical: to provide you with language skills you can use during your stay and to make it easier to interact with your Dutch friends and classmates. You will be taught communication and grammar up to a basic or intermediate level through practical training sessions and guided self-study. Ben jij er klaar voor (are you ready)?

This module is not scheduled at the same time as one of the other modules, so it therefore can be taken simultaneously with any of the other cross-departmental modules.
