abstract: This study will aim to give insights into the integration process of international students in Groningen. In specific, it will look at to what extent the various dimensions of a receiving society have influence on this process. To get better insights in the process of integration a quantitative method is chosen with a SPSS analysis. The three dimensions of the receiving society that are being studied are the socio-economic, cultural and political dimension. From these dimensions results show that both the socio-economic and the cultural dimension contribute most to the integration process of international students. For the socio-economic dimension the support from the university and having a job next to your study showed a significant result. The cultural dimension showed a significant result for the extend of similarity in cultures and the knowledge on Dutch holidays and traditions. Next to the significance also the strength of the relationships between the variables were measured with a Kendall’s tau-c test. This showed that the relationships between the variables in the cultural dimension were stronger as opposed to the socio-economic dimension. This means that the cultural dimension has most influence on the integration process of international students in Groningen followed by the socio-economic dimension and political dimension respectively.
