International Student Journey in the Netherlands

Hi there!

We’re conducting this short survey to better understand the real experiences, challenges, and needs of international students living and studying in the Netherlands.

Your answers will directly help Konnector BV. A social employment agency in ’s-Hertogenbosch, develop better support, opportunities, and connections for international students like you.

Our goal is to make it easier for students with a visa requirement to find work, build networks, and feel at home in Dutch society.

 The survey takes about 5 minutes to complete.

 Your responses are anonymous and will only be used for research to improve support programs.

Thank you for helping us make the Netherlands a better place for international students, your voice truly matters!
