About Hotelschool The Hague
Hotelschool The Hague, founded in 1929, is an independent Dutch hospitality business school ranked #7 globally for Hospitality & Leisure Management by QS (2026).
Hotelschool The Hague (HTH) is an independent university of applied sciences in the Netherlands, founded in 1929 by the Dutch hospitality industry. It is one of the oldest dedicated hotel schools in the world and one of the last single-sector universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands, with campuses in The Hague and Amsterdam. Total enrollment stands at approximately 2,544 students, of whom around 28% are international.
The school's flagship program is the four-year Bachelor in Hospitality Management, taught entirely in English, which includes two mandatory industry internships, one operational and one strategic. It also offers a Master in Leading Hotel Transformation and an MBA in International Hospitality Management. The curriculum is built around real hospitality industry practice; all first-year students live on campus at the school's training hotel, Skotel.
In the 2026 QS World University Rankings by Subject, HTH is ranked #7 globally and #1 in the Netherlands for Hospitality and Leisure Management, and it holds a QS 5-Star rating with an employer reputation score of 85.4 out of 100. The institution is accredited by NVAO, THE-ICE (International Centre of Excellence), and the European Consortium for Accreditation (ECA).
World University Rankings
For Nepali students
- HTH's QS #7 global ranking in Hospitality Management gives Nepali graduates a credential that is widely recognised by international hotel groups, the same employers who recruit heavily in Nepal's growing tourism sector and across the Gulf, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
- Non-EEA students (including Nepalis) can apply for the NL Scholarship (€5,000, five places per intake) and the Arnoud Van Delft Scholarship (€3,380 toward a preparatory course), which partially offset the non-EEA tuition of €17,816 per year, a cost tier that is high but comparable to similar specialist schools in the UK or Australia.
- Graduates of Dutch higher education are eligible for the Netherlands Orientation Year permit (zoekjaar), which grants up to 12 months of unrestricted work rights in the EU without requiring an employer-sponsored work permit, providing a concrete post-study pathway that many Nepali students seek.
- With 28% of students being international and all instruction in English, the campus environment is practical for Nepali applicants who may not speak Dutch; the mandatory internship structure also builds a global hospitality network that is directly relevant for careers in Nepal's premium resort and trekking sectors.
