The Kingdom of the Netherlands is associated with tulips, bicycles and canals. Of course, all this is an integral part of the country, but there are many other advantages to living and studying in Holland. 👍 Education among international students is not as popular here as in many other countries, however, there are several reasons to consider Holland as a possible place of future study.
1⃣Opportunities for English-speaking students
One of the most important conditions when choosing a country is the language. Dutch universities offer a variety of study programs in English🇬🇧, so there is no need to study Dutch for admission. There will be no difficulties in communicating with the inhabitants of the country, because about 90% of the population confidently speaks English.
2⃣Independence in the learning process
Students who study in the Netherlands are not heavily burdened with attendance issues, and they do most of the work on their own or in groups. The main criterion of effectiveness is the completed task.
🖇This approach is called Problem Based Learning and is good because the graduate will be able to independently allocate their time, choose ways to solve the problem and work for the result.
3⃣High level of education
The Netherlands provides its students with high-quality education, as evidenced by the international university rankings, which include most of the higher education institutions in the Netherlands. Moreover, the diplomas of Dutch graduates are recognized all over the world, so after studying, it is possible to find a job in another country or an international company.
5⃣Employment and salary
For any graduate, the issue of employment is acute. The Netherlands provides an opportunity to search for a suitable job during the Orientation year program. At the same time, the graduate is not required to apply for the program immediately, but can do so within 3 years, even if he is not in the Netherlands.
5⃣Scholarships and low tuition fees
On average, the initial cost varies from 6 to 8 thousand euros per year, depending on the level of education received. Many universities offer scholarships to cover tuition and other expenses.
📌 For example, the Orange Tulip Scholarship has been created for talented students from Russia. Students receive funding from universities in the Netherlands, and the program is coordinated by Nuffic Neso Russia, a representative of Dutch higher education in Russia.
6⃣Admission to the university
The admission process is quite simple, and the list of necessary conditions is quite small: good academic performance and educational documents (transcripts or diploma), an international certificate of proficiency in English and additional requirements from universities.
💡 There are also no problems with obtaining a student visa, as it is handled by the host university. After paying for the tuition, the documents are sent to the immigration service and the embassy, and the future student can only pick up the finished visa.
7⃣Geographical location
My student years abroad are accompanied by a desire to travel more and see the world. Holland is one of the central European countries. Due to the location and proximity to the Netherlands in many countries, students have the opportunity to buy cheap tickets and get acquainted with European culture.
8⃣High quality of life
The Netherlands is a great country to live in. There is a low crime rate, excellent living conditions in both large and small cities, and the population pays a lot of attention to a healthy lifestyle. The country has a well-developed infrastructure.
🔸If you have chosen this beautiful country to study in, then I wish you good luck with admission!🔸
