About Radboud University
Radboud University (Radboud Universiteit), established in 1923 in the historic Roman city of Nijmegen, is one of Europe’s leading comprehensive research universities. Consistently ranked within the global Top 150 (QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education), Radboud is internationally acclaimed for its pioneering scientific research, student-centric academic culture, and picturesque green estate campus at Heyendaal. The university encompasses seven distinguished faculties—Science, Medical Sciences (Radboudumc), Arts, Law, Social Sciences, Philosophy, Theology & Religious Studies, and the Nijmegen School of Management—offering over 100 fully accredited, English-taught undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes. Radboud gained worldwide scientific distinction in 2010 when professors Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for isolating graphene during their foundational research in Nijmegen. Operating major interdisciplinary research hubs including the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM), and collaborating closely with the on-campus Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Radboud provides an intellectually rigorous, socially engaged environment where over 24,000 students from more than 100 nations are empowered to change perspective and solve pressing global challenges.
