The Hague School for European Studies (HEBO)
The University has 14,000 students, of which 1,400 are HEBO students. HEBO is a branch of the The Hague University. A large proportion of the students and faculty are native to a country other than the Netherlands, giving HEBO a truly international academic and social perspective. "By its very nature, the college is internationally oriented." The college is committed to a policy according to which all of its students must spend one semester studying abroad. This means every year, HEBO sends approximately 300 students abroad. When these students return to HEBO, they enrich their classes and classmates by sharing an international perspective on global issues.
