Working without knowing Dutch
Many international organisations and research institutions operate in English or in multilingual teams, though this varies considerably depending on the sector and role. Learning Dutch can therefore broaden your prospects in the labour market and help you integrate into the region more quickly. At the same time, there are plenty of organisations where international professionals can build their careers even without a fluent command of Dutch.
