The University of the Arts The Hague in Den Haag is looking for an International Exchange Coordinator for 0.8 FTE | Vacancy for a Paid Position, Temporary | Deadline: 23-03-2025
The Royal Academy of Art (KABK) together with the Royal Conservatoire (KC) constitutes the University of the Arts, The Hague. We offer hbo bachelor and master education, as well as preparatory courses. There is an intensive collaboration with Leiden University: students can take electives on both sides, there is a PhD program. The University of the Arts is located at two locations in the center of The Hague. Since 2024, the University of the Arts is part of the European Universities Alliance IN.TUNE (see www.intune-alliance.eu).
Studying at the Royal Academy of Art means studying at the oldest Art Academy in the Netherlands with a high commitment to excellence, where (inter)nationally renowned artists and designers teach, and where tradition and craftsmanship are intertwined with experiment and innovation. The Royal Academy of Art is a centre for education, research, and professional skills. The academy has a strong focus on internationalisation, which is not only demonstrated by a high number of international students and teachers, but also by many international partnerships, various European projects for curriculum development and recognition gained through international accreditations.
An essential element of its internationalisation strategy is the cooperation of the University of Arts with partner institutions worldwide, both on a bilateral basis and in various international networks leading to projects and exchanges of students and staff. One other important element of internationalisation strategy at the university is research into internationalisation of the curriculum, working with students and teachers on intercultural awareness and competencies. Implementation of European Commission Higher Education goals and focus points in the context of the university is one other element of its internationalisation strategy.
