HOLLAND

There are many reasons why you should consider studying in Holland but ultimately the most important factors will be different for each and every one of you. Here they focus on some of the key advantages of gaining a Dutch university education. Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences recognise the importance of real-world experience.

Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences offer comprehensive support and advice when trying to arrange the best placement for you. Dutch research universities place a higher emphasis on academic study but even here it is often possible to combine work experience with your studies and universities actively encourage this.

Dutch universities include many practical elements in their degree courses. This emphasis on relevant experience is designed to prepare you for entry into the job market upon completion of your degree. The practical parts of your degree will be more pronounced in a University of Applied Sciences degree than at a Research University.

Dutch universities are very forward thinking in their approach to education; their most important objective is to provide you with the skills and knowledge you will need later in your career. Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences place great emphasis on giving students the chance to develop their capabilities in areas such as teamwork, communication and presentation skills.
