Master and Bachelor education at City Campus Dordrecht

Dordrecht is often rightly seen as the city “where it all started” in the Netherlands. A city with a long list of historic events that often acquired a wider, national significance over the course of history. In 1253 the “Latijnse School” was founded in Dordrecht, the first of it’s kind in Holland. The successor, the Johan de Witt Gymnasium, is therefore the oldest grammar school in the Netherlands. NLBA has decided to add to this rich history of education. In 2020 it was finally achieved: Master and Bachelor education at City Campus Dordrecht!

Location

City Campus Dordrecht includes all of the historic city center of Dordrecht. Dordrecht is easely accessible by train and only 10-15 minutes from the heart of Rotterdam. The main building of the city campus is the beautiful monumental building “Wereldwaag”. The building dates from 1750, it’s foundations date as far back as the Middle Ages. Since then, several influential people from Dordrecht have owned the house. In 1826 it came into the hands of a bookseller, who was the employer of Vincent van Gogh for a short while when he was staying in Dordrecht. The building also has a rich educational history. In 1918, the building was owned by the Christian Lyceum and the Rijks H.B.S. and though these schools no longer exist, the this the building has had educational destinations even afterwards. With it’s destination as the main campus building, the Wereldwaag will once again be given an educational destination with: academic education!
