 you being a non-EU student to an European student. And then also the payments and the tuition fees will for the next year be on the European student. So not for the first year, but for the second year. Thank you. You're welcome Stephanie. Yes, I got a little confused with the explanation that you did that for the first July and the deadline as 15 July, that was for a non-EU student or EU student? It's for non-EU students because of the visa application. So we firstly said... That's not possible, right? Sorry? But the visa application is not possible, right? Until October or because... Yeah, from which nationality are you? India. India, yeah, then it's not possible for you and for us to apply for your visa at this moment. But there are some countries that are allowed also outside of the EU that start the on-flight program in the Netherlands. And for those students, we can apply for people. But okay, we'll do it yet for you. But you will be informed as soon as it will be possible. All right, so that's like depending on the government opening the border for the third countries? Yes, you are correct, yeah. All right, okay, thank you, thank you. You're welcome, Prasad. Okay. My next one who raised the hand. So if you want to ask your question, you can... Yeah, hello. Can you hear me? Yes, I can hear you. Yes, I'm from Vietnam. So I am the new student and I just finished my first year as a student, so that means I have been registered from the academic year 2019 and 2020. And I found information about the SES that it will be changed next year from 2,500 to 3,300. But it's also say that it's just for the student who have been registered in the year 2018 to 2019. So I don't know if my case will be also considered because I also found that my study is also affected by the corona situation, more or less. So can you please clarify for me about it? Unfortunately, I did not get the question due to maybe problems with the connection. Yes, I only heard half of your question. Can you maybe show us the question that you have? Sven, the students are already studying here, and this session is actually meant for those who are coming here for the first time. So she's asking about the SES scholarship, but I think it's best if you send an email to the international office about that, because we don't have that information organized for this session. Okay, thank you. All right, thank you very much, my dude. All right, shall we switch to the next topic? Sure. All right. Next topic will be insurance. Well, for those who are new here and are probably coming to the Netherlands, please know that the Netherlands is known for their group called Healthcare System. But you also need to know that you must have a health and liability insurance at all times in the Netherlands. Love to be sure of everything, but these two items are important to have in the Netherlands. For Europeans, the most they have already issued from the whole country, which is called the so-called European Health Card. Please make sure that this health card covers your medical issues here in the Netherlands, in case you need it. Sometimes we have Europeans here who are not yet fully know how they are covered, and for which things they are covered, because the medical healthcare here is quite expensive if you compare it to other countries. And so it is good to know for which things you are covered, like also if you go to visit a family doctor, which is a standard procedure here in the Netherlands, which is not always common in your home country probably. So make sure you check with your insurance provider for which things you are covered and for which period are you covered for the full study, the program are only for like the first year, and how your claim procedure works, because that's sometimes what we hear from students that are not fully aware of when they come here. None of your students will take care of your insurance here by cooperating with the A1 insurance company. So for the first academic year, we take care of your health and liability insurance. And just know, and this is for European students and non-European students, in case you find a part-time job, you must switch to a so-called Dutch Basic Health Care Insurance as a short-circuit. For that, I can explain you a lot, but maybe that's best maybe at the time that you're here and you find a part-time job. But that means you need to be aware of. In other cases, you need to have this private insurance and for the non-European, we arrange that for you. For the European students, we expect you have arranged that for your home country. Are there any questions perhaps about the insurance or medical care? Samantha, I see here. Let me see if I can... Samantha, can you use the microphone? Hello. Hi. Hi, sorry. So coming from Switzerland, how does it work? Because I'm not sure I have this European health care. I just have a Swiss... You have a Swiss health insurance? Yes. Yeah. So normally what you have is a card that you can use if you show here at the hospitals or with a family doctor. So check with your insurance company if you are also covered for your stay here in Netherlands during your study. I guess yours will be sufficient. So check with your insurance company if it's indeed also covering your medical care in the Netherlands. Okay. And May I ask how much does the health care cost in the Netherlands? Well, depending a bit. But what the procedure normally is if you like for standard things you first go here to a family doctor and that family doctor here costs about 28 euros for a visit which is normally covered by the insurance. However, I'm not sure if it's also covered by your insurance because it's not something standard in other countries to have a family doctor. So normally a family doctor will direct it to a specialist in case it's needed. You can't go directly to a hospital for any questions that you're having. Where is it going to be a family doctor? And if you've been directed then it's covered normally but all those kind of questions best to ask your insurance company for that. But I think that for me it's smarter to just get an insurance there because Switzerland is very expensive. So I just wanted to know like I just have to organize this by myself or do I get some support from you guys? You can also, if you send us an email we can send you the details from like for example AUN and then you can make your own insurance for AUN. That's the most easiest way to do that. Private insurance which is also for liability as well and you can extend it and you can cancel it by month so that's really nice because normally if you have like a basic health insurance it's only for you here and you can't cancel it during the year. So yeah, just send us an email we can give you all the details about that. Okay, so AUN, right? Yeah, yeah. Thanks. Bye bye. Ernest, you may ask your question. If you have a question perhaps you can use your microphone if she was not immune. Okay, can I hear you? Yeah, I can hear you. Okay, I just wanted to find out so what's the stance of the university now? Is the university still insisting that it's only going to be online like courses online delivery of courses or is there going to be any change? If the course will be online or not? Yeah, I think based on what the recent developments the easing of the right decisions so for the September people, people are starting September is there going to be any blended approach to the courses that are going to be offered or everything is online? Well, I think what you should do then is to contact your faculty but I'm not sure what program it is with your studying. It's an MBA. That's an MBA. Yeah, so that's an online program and contact the school about that and they can give you all the information about how they are going to offer the classes and how it will look like. I don't have the input how your classes will be organized. So basically, most of the courses are offering the people who are going to start in September all the courses are online, most of them except for some of them. Go ahead. Okay. Okay. What I'm asking is because I spoke to one of my friends he is in, I think, he's going to deaf or something and he said he's going to university they are doing like their life students do regular, sorry I'm not using my video my internet is really terrible and it's raining here so it's what's going to make us work. Yeah, so if you want to join the online version or wait maybe for next year that's an option you need to make. I have no issue with the online version just that some of us don't have good internet connectivity that is going to be as good as in Europe. So the experience you get from where, for instance, I'm talking from Nigeria, internet connection here is 90% slower than what it is in Europe. I know because I've lived in Europe before so I know the difference between browsing there and browsing here. So that's my problem. It's not the only one because it's the quality of what I can get with my internet connection that's like... Just to discuss with someone from the MBA program from the school, how it's been offered, what kind of browser and anything like that. And it's up to you to decide whether you want to continue online in September or maybe defer your admission to next year by applying again of course in Melbourne. So can I call the international school or I can call them because I tried to call them earlier but it seems like they're not available. There should be content details on the website and otherwise we can give it to you later on if you just send the email and we can give you the content but normally you can also find it on section of the EDU with the program. Okay. Okay, I'll try and call them and find out if I can do that. Okay, thank you. Are there still questions about the insurance or otherwise the next topic? I don't see any hands raised. I'm not sure if anyone has seen any questions about it in the chat. I will continue with the next topic. And then we can answer the questions in the chat and if anyone still wants to raise their hands this is still available so please do so. Regarding housing, the next topic here's a quick overview of how is it going to be regarding the housing as from September. If you're outside the EU and starting an online program for September 2020 in a more in general it can be a specific case but in general there will be no housing available at section because you will start an online program from your home country we do encourage you to do so. If you're outside the EU Schengen starting the onsite program for September 2020 and you did pay the package fee in time including the housing and housing fee and you are also allowed to travel to the Netherlands then there is of course a room reserved for you and you will also receive confirmations about this and you are very welcome to visit us and we will make sure the room is available for you in the mid of August and the exact dates this will also be informed to you by email. If you're inside the EU starting the onsite program you needed to make a reservation and the deadline was the 7th of July some of you might already have received a confirmation about the reservation request so each and every reservation that you have made will be honored if you are inside the European Union and starting an online program from September 2020 you are still very welcome to also enjoy and get the housing from Saxon but we can also understand if you want to cancel your reservation due to the fact that you wish to follow the online program from your home country or that you cannot travel to the Netherlands for example because also some countries within the European Union are not allowed to travel to the Netherlands then make sure you go to our frequently asked questions because we can arrange a full refund for you and the steps are also mentioned in this frequently asked questions and also make sure that you just notify us to your cancellation via our email address at internationalofficeatSaxon.nl so this is in general what we are going to arrange for you guys detailed and specific other questions can also be asked of course via email but you will also receive more in-depth information through email like a confirmation from our housing department are there any questions for example due to ok is my housing arranged or anything else that we can make make sure gets being answered at this moment I'm just checking the chat at this moment if I can see any questions related to housing Melissa sir yes it is hi good morning I wanted to ask you I'm from Oman I went back to Oman when the pandemic started and you know it's my contract at Saxon in the housing and the heights will end at the beginning of August so I contacted international office to extend my rental for they told me I can't extend my rent for two weeks how can I apply for it because they haven't replied that to me ok so you did make a prolongation request so to extend your housing contract I don't know what do you mean but I did email them and told them but no one contacted me and told me what to do ok well there is there was the opportunity to prolong your housing but I think it's wiser because you are a current student of Saxon and not an upcoming new student to email us this question again we can check this with this housing department because we know that our housing department is currently working hard on finding solutions for extending housing contracts but this information I cannot give you at this moment by mind and by head so we need to do check this so please send the email to office at Saxon.nl ok I will do that thank you we do have some time left maybe it's a good idea to change the topic at this moment to our last topic and then the questions that you still have just drop them in the chat or raise your hand and I will give the microphone to my colleague hello everyone my name is Mihai I'm also working for the international office but I also just graduated from Saxon so if you have any questions related to your student life also to your budget or how you deal with the transportation or free time activities or student jobs please let me know send a message in the chat or you can also raise your hand and we can have a conversation about that I'm currently also ok Farid's present hello Farid's do you hear me hello can you hear me yeah so I'm from the U.C. then and I took a short degree program that only one year is it possible that I have a part-time job for only one year in Netherlands so you are a non-EU student right? so it will be possible to have a part-time job as a non-EU student but you only are allowed to have a limited number of hours I think you can work a maximum 16 hours per month if I'm correct oh I see it's 16 hours a week a week sorry a week ok for that you need to change your insurance as well so the money that you earn you can consider that extra pocket money but it will not be that much important as a non-EU student alright thank you welcome what kind of jobs are there? sorry I couldn't hear your question the connection was really bad our student jobs are there in the Netherlands for non-EU students well for example I had colleagues from Vietnam for example in my class that used to work in restaurants in the city where we were living but there are all kind of jobs I also had colleagues who used to work in hotels then some other colleagues also worked for the university so that there are different options I don't know if you were able to yes thank you you're welcome next what is your question yeah sorry ok I just wanted to ask what is the Dutch Government what is the Dutch Government saying concerning international students for example in Nigeria obviously I'm not part of the list that they released so what is the stance because I'm confused about because I have friends in other universities and I'm hearing different things what is the Dutch Government what do they say concerning international students generally are they saying they can't come are they saying the decision is left to universities or what is the stance if I understand correctly you are asking what is the position of the Dutch Government towards international students yes to be honest I think this is also based on international regulation and also how the coronavirus is evolving I cannot give you the right to this question but I mean as long as the corona situation is still uncertain then also the student situation is uncertain so I cannot give you the right answer for that so what I understand is that the Dutch Government is saying currently since the corona situation is still not sure all international students are not coming that's what you are saying well there are some countries from which you can actually come to the Netherlands but you can check that on the website Netherlands I ok apart from the mail you guys sent me a mail asking about applications and housing that was initial I was like why didn't you send me a mail about applications and housing when most of the courses are going to be online that was one then two I one or two other websites I think I even sent a I did like a screen grab on the website and I sent it to your international office which is a very popular website for anything like applying to EU all those things the website says that generally people are not allowed most countries are banned but they have some exceptions for like skilled people the government has some exceptions for skilled people emergency services or things that are basically vital like services are vital people that are tied to vital services are allowed they also send students so I was like because that means because I'm confused if you go to the foreign ministry's website you see something similar like that that they are saying that they are only allowed most people are banned but some people are allowed so I just want to declare what is the clear from the Dutch government because I've gone to the website and I'm not sure I can understand what you're saying is there an exception for students or the university just wants to take the extra precaution because based on the buildings you have you can't maintain that social distance I don't know sorry my question is wrong I understand but I don't have an issue with what's coming I just want to know what is the what is the government saying it's also depending how many which embassies are open so they have given us a list of the countries that have opened their embassies so there will be non-European countries have the option to do an on-site program to come this way but it's always change also every day we're also checking the same website I guess I think me, Netherlands and you okay we keep an update about that so a lot of embassies are still closed and therefore we just have a few countries that according to the European government they can still travel I guess okay I guess I'll check the websites on the website and see if there's any information I can okay okay I think we are at the end of the session so are there any questions in the chat that has been not answered yet or you'll see enough questions about the development we're more about the geometry of structural I guess and there's a question about the session it's been recorded and how we're going to offer this later on I know there's a place we're going to leave this recording right I'm not sure where actually, does anyone know that well I think we first need to discuss this also within our team how it's going to work okay so maybe later if it's been placed and then we probably will let them know I guess yeah or we will just post some parts of the video on YouTube but I'm not sure about that yeah well okay that's it then for this morning live Q&A session I would like to thank everybody for your questions it was the first for us to do so so please do be kind we do love to see you guys at the beginning even online or on site it was very helpful for us to do this as well so we know what's been on your heads at this moment what's the questions you do have please do also do check the frequently asked questions on our own website and if you do still have questions it's okay to just email us the questions at internationaloffice at section.nl and hereby thank you again and let's hope
