Dutch language-course in May-June 2019 at Columbia University for Graduate Students (tuition-free)
Applications are invited for a month-long course in modern Dutch, early modern Dutch/paleography, and archival research in Amsterdam/The Hague*, each section of which can be taken separately. The course is free-of-charge. Funding has been provided through the Nederlandse Taalunie and the University of Amsterdam.
The course has three distinct sections (see list below), and students may apply to any or all three (with the exception that students cannot apply to only the third section in the Netherlands).

Applicants are requested to clearly state which sections they are applying to, by stating it in boldface on the letter of purpose.
