The University of Groningen is a public institution that was founded in 1614, making it one of the oldest universities in the Netherlands. It is located primarily in the city of Groningen, approximately 115 miles northeast of Amsterdam. The University of Groningen does not have one clearly defined campus area; university buildings are located throughout the city. Tuition is higher for students from non-European Union and non-European Economic Area countries, with the exception of Swiss nationals. The university does not operate its own housing, but it does reserve rooms for international students in facilities that SSH, an outside organization, manages.The university has academic divisions focused on a variety of subjects: economics and business, behavioral and social sciences, theology and religious studies, arts, medical sciences, law, spatial sciences, philosophy, and mathematical and natural sciences. The University College Groningen, an undergraduate liberal arts and sciences college where English is the language of instruction, and a new branch campus – Campus Fryslân – are also part of the institution. Overall, the university offers upward of 45 bachelor’s and more than 100 master’s degree programs, as well as doctoral programs. The university follows a semester-based academic calendar. Some undergraduate and most graduate-level degree programs at the University of Groningen are available in English, while the rest are taught in Dutch. University research is generally focused on three main subject areas: energy, healthy aging and sustainable society. The university’s research institutes include the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials, the Stratingh Institute for Chemistry and the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute.
