Dutch for immigrants

The Language Centre of Maastricht University offers language training for highly educated civic integration participants. If you want to learn Dutch quickly and effectively, you are very welcome at the Language Centre! We are accredited by the Blik op Werk quality mark.
 

We offer language courses from level A1 up to C1. Each course lasts 7 weeks and consists of 14 lessons of 2 hours each. Our groups consist of 12 to 14 participants with the same language level. New courses start every 7 weeks, and group compositions may change. The hourly rate for a group course is €21.60.

In addition to language courses, we also offer a preparatory course for civic integration participants who plan to study in higher education.

B2 Level

To reach the B2 level required for the Staatsexamen NT2 Program II, you need to complete seven courses: A1, A2-min, A2, B1-min, B1, B2-min, and B2. Each course lasts seven weeks and starts five times a year: in February, April, June, September, and November. You will be tested in all four skills, and only if you pass the tests can you proceed to the next module.

Intake

Before starting a course with us, we invite you for an extensive intake session. We will discuss your goals, prior knowledge, and preferred timeline, and offer a course that suits your current language level.

Course registration is handled through the municipality. You can discuss with your contact person whether it is possible to follow a course at the Maastricht University Language Centre.
