CoursesThe Wageningen University campus is a highly international environment where the ability to speak more than one language is not just a luxury, but a necessity. English, Dutch, French and Spanish are the most popular language courses among BSc and MSc students, but Wageningen in’to Languages offers courses in other languages as well.

Wageningen in’to Languages does not only teach language courses to Wageningen UR students, PhD candidates and staff, but also to external clients. The general courses focus on speaking and listening skills, but they also offer specialised training courses, for instance in English writing and presenting skills. Prior to taking an English course with Wageningen in’to Languages, you can take the

Oxford Online Placement Test (OOPT) to determine which course level is most suitable for you.

Fees• Courses in Dutch and English cost the same for all

students enrolled at Wageningen UR: €90.• Students needing a French or Spanish course for their

The test, which consists of open and multiple-choice questions, is designed to test listening skills, reading skills and grammar, and lasts a maximum of 80 minutes. The computer sets the questions and checks whether the answers are right or wrong. The level of the questions changes automatically in line with the level of the student’s current knowledge, until a constant level is achieved.

proficiency• All MSc and Erasmus students will be given the

Legal residence in the Netherlands

Legal residence means that non-Dutch citizens are granted permission by the Dutch government to temporarily reside in the Netherlands for a specific purpose, in this case education.

The application for an entry visa (MVV) and/or a residence permit (VVR) must be made by the International Office of Wageningen University, which will send you the necessary forms to fill out after admission and payment of the

invoice and forward your application to the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND). The IND will then provide the University with proof of legal residence, based upon which you can be registered as a student.

Not all students need to apply for a MVV entry visa or a residence permit.

The return visa can be obtained from the IND. You will have to make an appointment with the IND, Call 088 043 04 30. The IND will give you further instructions regarding documents you have to take with you. Costs of a return visa are €145 (for Turkish nationals the costs of the return visa are €42).If you intend to visit another country, check the visa requirements for that country well in advance.

of the Dutch residence permit. If you travel abroad without being in possession of a valid Residence Permit card, you will be refused entry upon your return.

Stay in another Schengen countryA Dutch Residence Permit grants entry without visa into the so-called Schengen countries of the European Union, for a maximum of 3 months. If you intend to stay longer than 3 months, you must check the visa requirements of that specific country well in advance.

End of study

According to the Dutch Immigration Law the educational institute has to inform the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) as soon as you have completed or stopped your study.Wageningen University informs the IND in the first week of the new month following your graduation date or the date on which you have stopped your study.From this date on your residence permit is no longer valid (no matter what the expiry date on your residence permit card says) and for this reason your stay in the Netherlands may become illegal.The IND will withdraw your residence permit based on study.

You must leave the Netherlands before the 28th of the new month following your graduation or end date of study, unless your residence permit card has already expired. You have to leave the Netherlands before the expiry date of your residence permit.Leaving the Netherlands after this date may result in a report in your personal file in the IND administration which can cause trouble when applying for a new visa for a Schengen country in the future.

Only students that have graduated can apply for a ‘Search Year’ in order to find a job or PhD position in the Netherlands.More information regarding the search year can be found on the website of the IND: https://ind.nl/EN/individuals/residence-wizard/orientation-year-highly-educated- persons/#paragraph1

Please note that some sponsor organisations have strict rules regarding the return to your home country after you have finished your study. We strongly advise fellows to check the rules of the fellowship. For example: NFP fellows have to return home within a couple of days after the fellowship has ended. A search year is not allowed. Their sponsor does not allow them to use the search year.

Bank

In Wageningen you will find several bank shops where students may go to apply for a Dutch bank account. Most of these bank shops will ask you for your BSN (Citizen service number) before opening a bank account. The municipality will provide you with this BSN as soon as you are registered as a citizen of Wageningen (this procedure may take a few weeks).

To shorten this procedure we recommend students to apply for a bank account at the ABN AMRO bank. The ABN AMRO bank allows students to apply for a bank account before they have received their BSN. For more information checkwww.wageningenur.nl/en/Education-Programmes/Student-Service-Centre/Show-SSC/Opening-Bank-account.htm

Cash passport/debit card

Although we assist you to open a Dutch bank account as soon as possible, it can still take a few weeks after your arrival before you actually can use your bank account.To prevent you from not being able to have any cash money, we offer you a Cash Passport provided by the GWK Travelex. This is a prepaid MasterCard with money for your first month(s) on it. If you or your sponsor paid living allowance to Wageningen University, we will provide you with the Cash Passport. Upon receiving the relevant e-mail from the Student Service Centre, you can pick up the card at Schiphol or in Arnhem yourself and use it immediately, for example for paying the rent for your room or withdrawing money at the ATM. Be aware that GWK may charge extra costs for the use of this card. For more information please contact GWK Travelex.

Financial matters

Cash dispensers

You will find a cash dispenser or ATM (Dutch: geldautomaat), at every bank and post office, as well as in train stations, supermarkets and other public places. Dispensers will accept almost every kind of debit card. You must find a match among the symbols on the dispenser and your card. If a dispenser is out of service it will say in Dutch, buiten dienst. If you type a wrong PIN (Personal Identification Number) code three times, the machine will not return your card. If this happens, please contact the bank. There is no ATM at the campus. The nearest ATM machine to the campus is at the Tarthorst near the supermarket Jumbo.

Safe-DepositFor the safekeeping of valuables, you can rent a safe-deposit box at a commercial bank.

eWallet

The eWallet is a virtual wallet connected to the WUR-card.You can use your WUR-card to identify yourself at the payment point and pay. You can top up the credit by using the MyInepro app. This app is available on all app stores. Just enter the search string ‘MyInepro’. (logon with WURaccount and password. Organisationcode: WageningenUR). Click here for the instruction video.

Or use the website http://eWallet.wur.nl.Dutch bank account holders can pay through iDeal, whereas non-Dutch bank account holders use PayPal. You can top up your eWallet with €10, €20, €30, €40 or €50. Please bear in mind that transaction fees are charged for every top up. If you top up often, you might end up paying exorbitant transaction fees. So think carefully about the amount before you top up! iDeal always charges transaction fees of €0.60, regardless of the actual amount you top up. PayPal always charges transaction fees of €0.35 and an additional 3.9% of the amount you top up. For example: if you top up by €10, iDeal will charge you €10.60 in total, whereas PayPal will charge €10.74 (€10 + €0.35 + 3.9% of €10) in total.

If you do not have a WUR-card, you will be able to buy a prepaid eWallet card from the dispenser (ground floor of Forum). This card will cost €8.50 and will have €7.50 worth of credit.

Medical Insurance

Health insurance is compulsory in the Netherlands. If you do not have health insurance, or the one you have has expired, you can apply for Health Insurance on www.aonstudentinsurance.com or you can visit the Student Desk in the Forum building and arrange your insurance. The insurance company used by Wageningen University is AON. This insurance is a health- and liability insurance in one policy.

Important information: To avoid problems with the tax office in the future, we strongly advise you NOT to apply for health subsidy (zorgtoeslag). Holders of a student insurance do not qualify for health subsidy.

The Netherlands has treaties regarding health insurance with the following countries: all EU member states, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Turkey, Morocco and most of the countries of former Yugoslavia, Tunisia, Cape Verde Islands and Australia.

If you are insured under the national health insurance scheme of one of these countries, your insurance company can provide you with a European Health Insurance card or an international declaration form called E-111 or E-128. Make sure to bring this card or form with you to the

Netherlands, and make a number of copies. You will need the card/form when going to a doctor.

Make sure that the insurance documents are in one of the more commonly used European languages (Dutch, English, German or French).

If your insurance does not cover your stay in the Netherlands and you cannot make use of the international treaty described above, you will have to take out private insurance. Special policies are available for international students. The Student Desk can assist in arranging medical (including liability) insurance on arrival in Wageningen.

If you have any existing medical issues, these issues are not covered by your health insurance.

NOTE always take your insurance certificate/card with you for any medical consultation you may have.

For more information about insurances, please check this website.

Insurance

Liability insurance

You can purchase the insurance at the Student Desk. International students who have their own health insurance (other than the AON-insurance offered by Wageningen University), which is valid in the Netherlands, are strongly advised to check whether or not their insurance also includes legal liability. Check www.aonstudentinsurance.com/students/en

European Students

European students who have their own health insurance are strongly advised to check whether their insurance covers the cost of repatriation due to serious illness or death. Such insurance pays for special transportation and /or medical care during repatriation as well as the airfare for a family member.

Basic Healthcare Insurance

Students doing an internship or thesis research at a Dutch company must check whether they are obliged to take out a basic health insurance. A global guideline for taking out a basic health insurance is: more than €150 per month or more than €1,500 per year. All students who meet this

criteria are advised to contact the SVB (Social Insurance Bank) to check their AWBZ insurance position. Information on how to contact the SVB (www.svb.nl/int/en/index.jsp).

Sociale Verzekeringsbank (SVB)The Sociale Verzekeringsbank (SVB) is the organisation that implements national insurance schemes in the Netherlands. This website informs you about the schemes and legislation that they implement.

Zorginstituut Nederland (ZIN)The National Health Care Institute uses standard methods and procedures for assessments. The institute assesses forms of care for inclusion in the statutory insured package.

Medical care

If medical attention is required, the first person to consult is a General Practitioner (GP) or family doctor; in Dutch, huisarts. A list of GPs can be found in this booklet.In the Netherlands it is not customary to make an appointment directly with a specialist. If necessary, the GP will refer you to one.

Emergency AidHospitals have emergency rooms and provide first aid in case of accidents and other emergencies. Look for the entrance marked Spoedeisende Hulp (= emergency aid). However, if it is not an emergency always try to contact your GP first before going to a hospital; he/she will help you to decide which steps to take.

All medical professionals have a code of ethics forbidding them to pass on information about patients, even to parents or authorities.

National law holds articles about the financing of basic practices by general practitioners. In short these articles contain the following:• If a client (read: student) wants to get a full

reimbursement from his or her own medical insurance• If a general practitioner wants to get the full payment

for his services from the medical insurance then it’s

important that the client selects a general practitioner in the community, where he or she lives according to the registration of the municipality.

Please note when visiting a GP, specialist, dentist or hospital, you will have to show your insurance papers. Also have your insurance papers handy when calling for an appointment, as details may be asked.However, should you not have them with you in case of an emergency; you will not be turned away. Always check if the treatment required is covered by your insurance!

General practitioners (GPs or family doctors), in Dutch, huisarts

Choice of general practitionerThe choice of a general practitioner is a personal matter and is therefore seen as a free, individual choice in Dutch law. This means that every student living in Wageningen can ask for a registration at any general practitioner in the municipality of Wageningen. Information www.wageningenUR.nl/en/Education-Programmes/Student-Service-Centre/Student-counselling-service/Student-PhysicianGeneral-Practitioners.htm

Your Guide 2016-2017 | 33

Acceptance by general practitionerAfter making a choice, you can request registration at the chosen doctor’s practice. The general practitioners also have a choice: they can point out that there is no room for new clients at their practice. So, in a sense freedom of choice has two sides.

Wageningen University and General Practitioners

Wageningen UR made an agreement with van der Duin/van Dinther to accept all students who wish to register.The van der Duin/van Dinther practice is a general practice which specialises in health problems that are common among students.

When visiting the GP please take:• The doctor’s registration form (download it from

the website)• Copy of your passport• Copy of your insurance policy

Wageningen offers a variety of shops. Many shops (e.g. Zeeman, Action, and Wibra) have a self-service system. This means that you choose the article you wish to buy and take it to the cashier to pay. Many of these shops have shopping baskets in which you put the articles to take them to the cashier.

Other shops have a semi self-service system: for example in a clothes shop you choose the article and then ask the shop assistant to show you a cubicle for fitting. If the article is to your satisfaction, you take it to the cashier to pay.

Articles must always be visible, only after you have paid you are allowed to put your purchase in your pocket or shopping bag. One is not allowed to take articles out of the shop which have not yet been paid for. An electronic protector is attached to many articles, which is removed at the cashier. The device is activated when leaving the shop without payment.It is furthermore essential that, while still in the shop, you keep the receipt that you receive at the cashier as proof that payment has been made. The receipt is also required if the article is taken back to the shop e.g. if it is faulty.

Discounts and special price offers are an important part of Dutch life: special offer=aanbieding, cheap=goedkoop, two for the price of one=2 halen 1 betalen and sale=uitverkoop are words to look for. You’ll see these in supermarkets and other shops.

Opening hours are:Monday 13.00 – 18.00 hrs (some shops are closed all day)Tuesday toThursday between 08.30 and 09.00 – 18.00 hrsFriday between 08.30 and 09.00 – 21.00 hrsSaturday between 08.30 and 09.00 – 17.00 hrs

Bicycles

The Wageningen University buildings are at relatively short distances from the student flats and can be easily reached by bicycle, in Dutch: fiets.

Tips• Small bikes are rare, ask the shop keeper for assistance

if you wish to buy a small bike.• When buying a bike, always check if the lights, tyres

and brakes are in good order• Reverse brakes are fine once you get used to them;

handbrakes may cost more• A non-attractive bike has less chance of being stolen• An old, strong bike may be more reliable than a new,

attractive one• When buying a bike, also buy a good lock• Always lock your bike, even if you leave it alone for just

a few minutes• If you have never biked before, ask a friend to help you

and practice in a safe open place

More to know before cyclingwww.cyclinginwageningen.nl Cycling is fun, efficient, easy

and safe if you watch out for all other traffic at all times and follow a few rules. The system of traffic control and, more importantly, the motorists themselves, take cyclists into account and accidents are rare. Use the bicycle lane or a track on the right hand side of the road, marked with white lines and bike symbols. Do not cycle on footpaths, shopping streets, pavements, roundabouts and motorways. Always give right of way to taxis and buses. Yield to all traffic approaching from the right, unless otherwise indicated. This also means that traffic from your left-hand side should give you right of way. But this shouldn’t be taken for granted. Do not behave like many people hurrying through Wageningen, by not giving right of way, charging through red lights or cycling through pedestrian areas. Stop for red traffic lights. Always follow instructions given by the police. Disobeying the rules could cost you at least €50.Never leave your bike unlocked. Always lock your bike to something unmovable, preferably a bike rack using two locks: one through the rear wheel and one around the frame through the front wheel. Don’t park your bike in front of Central Station or in front of a store without bike racks. Do not leave anything of value behind on your bicycle.

Transportation

42 | Wageningen University

Pedestrians

The most unexpected traffic rule for the foreign pedestrian or cyclist is that all traffic approaching from the right has priority, unless there are signs or markings to indicate otherwise. In other words, a driver will expect nearly everyone to his left to yield to him. This is true even when a car is turning out of a small side street. Cars have to stop for pedestrians only when they are on a zebra crossing or when the car is turning across their path, but even then, be careful. Trams have priority over everyone, no matter where they are coming from. As a pedestrian you should also become accustomed to the network of bicycle paths ‘fietspaden’, which at first you might mistake for pedestrian paths. For information about the traffic rules see www.cyclinginwageningen.nl/traffic-rules-for-cyclists

Buses

Public TransportationMost students use a bicycle for transport. If you decide not to use a bike, you can drive a car, walk or use public transport. If you take the bus you need to know that Dutch buses are as punctual as the inhabitants of this country. They nearly always run on time. From Wageningen bus station there are regular bus services to towns such as Ede, Arnhem and Utrecht.

The traditional Dutch daily eating routine consists of two cold meals (breakfast and lunch) and one hot meal (dinner). The main component of breakfast and lunch is bread.Dinner usually consists of meat or fish accompanied by potatoes and vegetables (potatoes may be replaced by rice, pulses legumes, or pasta), followed by dessert mostly custard.

At most student flats or houses, students take turns preparing group dinners. You can sign up (cooking sign-up sheet) to join. The costs are shared by the participants.Food is bought from supermarkets, food shops and open-air markets. Food on special offer (prices lower than usual) is recognisable by the words aanbieding or reclame. All pre-packaged items carry a date indicating their durability.Look for the phrases tenminste houdbaar tot or THT (best before), or uiterste verkoopdatum (sell-by date) Of course there are also specialised shops, such as bakers, butchers, fishmongers, dairies, greengrocers, etc., as well as shops that sell Asian, South American and African food as well as health food shops selling organically produced food. Names and addresses of supermarkets and shops can be found on page 38 to 40.

Instead of doing your own cooking or cooking with other students, which is of course the cheapest option, you may want to eat out at a student club or at a restaurant or buy takeaway food.

February 26-28, Carnival

The Dutch either love it or hate it. Celebrating Carnival is most popular among the people living ‘beneden de rivieren’ (below the rivers) in the provinces Noord-Brabant and Limburg. This does not mean that it is not celebrated in the rest of the country. Wageningen has 4 carnival clubs. The carnival celebrators get dressed up and go from café to café, singing songs, participating in parades and consuming large quantities of beer.

27 April, King’s Day – the king’s birthday

King’s Day is the biggest national event in the Netherlands. Everything and everyone turns orange (the Dutch Royal family is the house of Oranje-Nassau. Oranje means orange in Dutch) and celebrates on King’s Day. You will find music shows, fairs, flea markets and parties throughout the country. Even the Dutch royal family goes on tour to be received by one or more Dutch towns for an entertainment-filled day. Amsterdam is transformed into the nation’s biggest orange party town. The Hague has Koningsnach or King’s Night with dozens of music performances in the city centre, and Utrecht boasts the biggest flea market in the Netherlands. So mark 27 April

in your agenda since we are sure you wouldn’t want to miss out on the biggest Orange feast of the year.

May 4, Commemoration dayOn May 4 those who died during the Second World War are commemorated: soldiers, people in the resistance and those who died in concentration camps in Europe and in Asia. At 20.00 hrs there is a 2-minute silence and in many municipalities people gather for silent marches. From many houses and buildings flags are hung at half-mast. A special ceremony takes place at a military cemetery near Wageningen in the city of Rhenen on the Grebbeberg, where heavy battles took place.

May 5, Liberation day

On May 5 the Dutch celebrate their liberation from the German occupation in 1945. Wageningen played an important role during the liberation, as the peace talks and signing of the peace treaty took place in Wageningen in the De Wereld hotel. On May 5 there are many open-air liberation festivals bevrijdingsfestivals throughout the country.

December 5, Sinterklaas – Saint Nicholas Day

Sinterklaas (Dutch pronunciation: [sIntər’kla:s]) or Sint-Nicolaas (Dutch pronunciation: [sInt ‘niko:la:s]) is a traditional holiday figure based on Saint Nicholas.Other names for the figure include De Sint (“The Saint”), De Goedheiligman (“The Good Holy Man”), and De Goede Sint (“The Good Saint”) in Dutch; Saint-Nicolas in French; Sinteklaas in Frisian; and Kleeschen and Zinniklos in Luxembourgish.

Sinterklaas is celebrated annually with the giving of gifts on the night before Saint Nicholas Day (5 December) in the Netherlands and on the morning of 6 December, Saint Nicholas Day itself, in Belgium, Luxembourg, and Northern France (French Flanders, Lorraine and Artois). He is also well known in territories of the former Dutch Empire, including Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao.

He is one of the sources of the popular Christmas icon of Santa Claus.

Other holiday figures based on Saint Nicholas are celebrated in some parts of Germany and Austria (Sankt Nikolaus); Hungary (Mikulás); Switzerland (Samichlaus); Italy (San Nicola in Bari, South Tyrol, Alpine

municipalities, and many others); parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia (Sveti Nikola); Slovenia (Sveti Nikolaj or Sveti Miklavž); and Greece (Agios Nikolaos), among others.

Sinterklaas is comparable to Santa Claus. Every year Sinterklaas arrives in the Netherlands in November by steamboat from Spain. Throughout centuries, he has been considered to be the patron saint of children and on December 5 he brings them gifts. Sinterklaas has a whole crew of helpers, Zwarte Pieten (black Petes).

Emergency response (BHV) Wageningen UR

Brief descriptionEmergency response bedrijfshulpverlening or BHV in Dutch, is concerned with the prevention of accidents and the limitation of problems should accidents happen. BHV

is very important for students too. The emergency response team provides first aid following an accident and coordinates evacuations until the arrival of the emergency services, such as the fire brigade.

Evacuation procedureIn an emergency, everyone in the building is alerted by alarm signals. If the alarm signal you hear is a two-tone sound, this is a warning, if for example there is a fire or toxic gases have been released somewhere in the building. If the alarm signal you hear is a ‘slow whoop’ sound, leave the building as quickly and as calmly as possible through one of the emergency exits and go tothe assembly point. Use the route indicated by the escape route signs and follow the instructions of your supervisor or the emergency response team member. Never try to escape through thick smoke.The elevator will not work. Because of the roll call by the fire brigade for example you must remain at the assembly point until further notice.

Evacuation drillThe performance of the local emergency response team organisation and all the measures taken require regular testing. This is why there is an evacuation drill in every Wageningen UR building at least once a year. So there is a good chance that you will experience one of them.
