WURth while
WURth-while is an initiative started by a group of people from WUR and the Dutch Council for Refugees (Vluchtelingenwerk Oost Nederland). It provides refugees access to some free courses at the University. Participants can get an orientation of about 3 or 4 courses (from which they can get an official print-out of their study-results), but they are not eligible to get a full degree via WURth-while.
