Since the university was founded in 1987 it has expanded to four campuses in the near-side cities of The Hague: Delft and Zoetermeer. The main campus is in The Hague, within walking distance of the cultural city centre and close to Central Station. The Hague has been the seat of government of the Netherlands since 1588 and home to many major international legal, security and peace institutions.
THUAS brings considerable experience in the formation of City Deals – where students formulate relevant research questions together with researchers and the field (businesses, government, social institutions, citizens’ initiatives, etc.) and then carry out further research into urban problems and evaluate whether assumed problem-solving approaches are effective.
