How the education system works in the Netherlands

Dutch higher education offers two main types of degrees: research-oriented education and higher professional education. Research universities focus on academic study and typically award bachelor's and master's degrees. Bachelor's degrees usually take three years, while master's degrees typically take one or two years. Universities of applied sciences offer more practical, career-focused programs, also leading to bachelor's and master's degrees. Bachelor's degrees at these institutions generally take four years, and master's degrees one to two years. The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System is widely used to measure academic workload. Teaching often involves a blend of lectures, tutorials, and project-based work, with an emphasis on independent learning and critical thinking.

Language requirements

English is a common language of instruction for many programs in the Netherlands. Institutions typically accept a range of English language proficiency tests, including the International English Language Testing System and the Test of English as a Foreign Language. Some programs may also accept other tests or offer their own assessments. For programs taught in Dutch, proficiency in the Dutch language is required, often demonstrated through specific Dutch language tests.

Scholarships, funding and sports awards

The scholarship landscape for international students in the Netherlands includes various options. The Dutch government offers some scholarship programs, and many institutions also provide their own grants and bursaries. These can be merit-based or need-based, and their availability varies by program and institution. International students often need to secure their own funding, as comprehensive scholarships covering all expenses are not universally common.

Sports scholarships are not a prominent feature of the Dutch higher education system in the same way they are in some other countries. While universities may have sports facilities and student sports associations, direct athletic scholarships from institutions are rare. Students interested in combining high-level sport with their studies should inquire directly with individual institutions about any support or flexibility they might offer for athletes.

After you graduate

After completing their studies, international graduates in the Netherlands may be eligible to apply for an orientation year visa, which allows them to seek employment or start a business. This visa provides a period for graduates to explore opportunities in the Dutch job market. The rules and conditions for post-study work visas can change, so it is essential for students to consult official government sources for the most current information.
