Why The Hague?

The Hague is known as the ‘City of Peace and Justice’, and has been at the forefront of the human rights based system for over 100 years. But in recent years other hugely successful sectors have arisen, including finance, energy, IT; and the security industries. Aside from the exceptional work/life balance and beautiful surroundings, The Hague's job market is very internationalised, interconnected, and a great place to build your career.
