University of Groningen

The University of Groningen is a thriving international research university where teaching and research are integrally connected. At the same time the University of Groningen is firmly rooted in the north of the Netherlands. While we are passionate about the quality of education, as the essential role of a university, the quality of research sets our university apart from others. As a research university our real value not only lies in the proliferation of existing knowledge, but also in the freedom and support that researchers and students are given to develop new knowledge.

The University of Groningen provides high quality teaching and research, is internationally oriented, respects differences in ambition and talent, works actively with business, the government and the public, and ranks among the best universities in Europe.
