Why study in Holland?

There are a number of reasons why Holland is a popular choice for those looking to study (and start a career) abroad. It is home to world-ranking universities; some of the best universities in the world are in Holland. Erasmus University Rotterdam is ranked 69th in the world (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2020). Dutch degrees are recognised across the globe. The Dutch education system is well known and respected for its high quality. University-level education has existed here as far back as the 16th century.

Courses are taught in English. Many degree programmes at Dutch universities are taught in English, meaning they attract students from all over the world, and degree programmes in Holland are a fraction of the cost of those in North America and the rest of Europe. 

A welcoming environment, Holland is a proudly multicultural nation, with a long history of immigration. You will find influences from all over the world here.
