What you will learn
Why Viaa?
Our Dutch and international students value Viaa for its small-scale and Christian profile, offering high-quality and practice-oriented education. Due to its size, you as a student will benefit from an individual learning approach, small learning groups and personal contacts. From day 1, you will build new connections with teachers and fellow students, for life.
Located in Zwolle, Viaa is within half-a-day travel distance by train from large European cities, like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Brussels, and Paris.
International field trips during your study at Viaa
Field trips are an integral part of the Viaa Exchange program. All Viaa Exchange students will go on a weeklong international field trip and several field trips to large cities or landmarks in the Netherlands.
