About The Netherlands
Holland, or more formally The Netherlands,
is an internationally oriented and innovative country located in
the heart of Europe. This makes it ideal for people who are looking
to enrich their knowledge through study abroad.
The Netherlands has two main types of regular higher education:
university education and higher professional education. The universities
focus on the independent practice of research-oriented work in an
academic or professional setting. The universities of professional
education are more practically oriented, preparing students directly
for specific careers. A smaller branch of education is provided
by International Education institutes, which offer programs designed
especially for foreign students.
Educational System
in The Netherlands
International education in English
Higher education institutions in The Netherlands offer about 1,000
international study programs and courses which are taught in English.
These programmers cover a broad range of fields. Curricula are intensive,
at an advanced level, practically oriented, and designed to meet
the expectations of students seeking specialized knowledge. The
courses alternate theory with practice in real or simulated work
situations. Most study programs and courses lead to a bachelor's
degree, a master's degree, a PhD degree, a diploma or certificate.
There are 14 universities in The Netherlands.
These institutions essentially train students in science and the
application of science, although many study programs do also have
a professional component and most graduates actually find work
outside the research community. The universities vary in size,
with enrolments ranging from 6,000 to 30,000. Altogether they
enroll some 185,000 students.
Universities
of professional education
The study programs offered by universities of professional education
(hogescholen) are professionally oriented. Acquiring practical
work experience through internships is an integral part of professional
study programs The country has 44 universities of professional
education. The largest enroll 20,000 to 39,000 students. Altogether
some 350,000 students are enrolled in this type of higher education.
Institutes
for International Education
The Netherlands has been offering another form of higher education
for more than 50 years: advanced courses taught in English in
what is known as 'international education'. These institutes (15)
focus on development-oriented courses, based on working in small,
intercultural groups and the exchange of knowledge, facilitated
by teachers with extensive experience of working in low-income
countries.
Degrees: bachelor, master and PhD
Students who enroll in higher education programs will obtain a
bachelor's degree upon completion of the undergraduate phase,
and a master's degree upon completion of the graduate phase. Universities
and universities of professional education award both types of
degrees, but with a difference in orientation: most degree programs
at universities focus on science, and those at universities of
professional education on applied science. Institutes for International
Education offer master's programs
but no bachelor's programs .
A bachelor's program at a university requires
three years of full-time study (180 credits) to complete while
a bachelor's program offered by a university of professional education
requires four years of full-time study (240 credits). Depending
on the discipline, master's programs at universities, universities
of professional education and institutes for International Education
will last one to two years (60-120 credits). The doctorate (PhD)
takes at least four years.
