Does something with Government suit you?

You care about the world around you. You are interested in social issues such as peace, security, refugees, global warming, the international COVID-19 crisis or the digitalisation of society. You would like to discuss social issues, and if possible, play a role in deciding and creating policies.

At the heart of politics
Do you have a burning desire to make a difference and make the world a better place? Government is an area of interest in which you learn all about political science, sociology, economics, organisation & management and law. You will feel completely at home in an international city such as The Hague, as it is the political centre of the Netherlands. There is even a high chance that you will run into our Prime Minister.

In other words, you...

want to discuss and make decisions about social issues

want to make the world a better place

want to create policies that do justice to society
