In Holland (also known as Netherlands) you will find an international environment, quality and diversity in education and research. Holland was the first non-English speaking country to offer courses taught in English. The Dutch higher education institutions together offer about 1,150 international study programmes which are entirely in English. These programmes cover a broad range of fields. Higher education is subsidized and the tuition fee is relatively low.
Holland provides quality education in such disciplines as management & business studies,agricultural sciences, medicine, civil engineering and remote sensing.
Universities and universities of professional education award both types of degrees, but with a difference in orientation: most degree programmes at the universities focus on academic study and research, and those at universities of professional education on practical, professional knowledge. Institutes for International Education offer master's programmes, but no bachelor's programmes.
A bachelor's programme at a university requires three years of full-time study (180 credits) to complete while a bachelor's programme offered by a university of professional education requires four years of full-time study (240 credits). Foreign students must have a diploma judged equivalent to the minimum diploma required.
Depending on the discipline, master's programmes at universities, universities of professional education and institutes for International Education will last one to two years (60-120 credits). For admission to a master's degree programme, applicants must have at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent. The doctorate (PhD) is only offered at universities and takes at least four years. A master degree is the prerequisite for admission.
