ABS Buddy Programme

Are you coming to ABS from outside the Netherlands? Would you like someone to show you the ropes? We’re happy to assign you a buddy to help you find your way during your 1st semester. Our buddies are 1st- or 2nd-year ABS students. They can help you settle into ABS by showing you around or helping you make new friends, plan your study and deal with cultural differences.
Buddies can also help with your transition to life in the Netherlands with practical advice about everything from opening a bank account or reading a train schedule, to food shopping and buying a bicycle. Let one of our buddies help you start your studies with confidence! Sign up for the buddy programme here.
