He continued his education in STOVIA (School tot Opleiding van Inlandsche Artsen), a medical school in Batavia (now in Jakarta). Feeling unfit to be a physician, he left STOVIA and went to AMS (Algemene Middelbare School) instead. He then continued his education in RHS (Rechts Hogeschool). He completed his education in the Leiden University with the title Meester in de Rechten (Bachelor of Law).
