"I cannot praise too highly the generosity, hospitality and academic excellence CES has been offering to its overseas partners. Just as my students enjoy every encouragement, care and support imaginable, CES faculty and staff are absolutely unsurpassed when it comes to meeting the requests and preferences of visiting faculty and program directors.  From the high quality of classrooms and facilities, to exciting entertainment at international soccer games and Fourth of July festivities, you make everyone feel more than welcome in your lovely city.  Don't change anything!" Dr. Eric Rust – Baylor University

Because we care

We believe that the key to a successful study abroad experience is to provide comprehensive and individual guidance and allow students the flexibility and freedom to build their own curriculum. We are a small, international team of dedicated staff who offer assistance with everything from academic advising to immersion into Dutch student life. We operate on a personal attention policy, supporting students before, during and even after the programme has finished. With CES, you are never just a number.

Unique hands-on experiences

Inspiring study abroad programmes should not only offer first-rate academics but also unique hands-on experiences. That is why almost all CES programmes incorporate either multiple-day study tours, field trips, company visits or a combination. Imagine visiting the European Central Bank in Frankfurt to discuss the complex European economy or talking to one of the curators of the Dutch National Museum about the restoration of one of Rembrandt’s paintings.

Tailor-made programmes

We also create university specific programmes which are developed in close cooperation with our global partners and range from a month-long programme on Forensic Psychology to semester options with a European focus. CES also designs inspiring and intensive orientation programmes that prepare students for their academic studies in the Netherlands.
