STUDY IN HOLAND

Holland (or the Netherlands as it is officially called) is quietly making a name for itself as a top study destination for international students. For a small country it punches well above its weight where it concerns quality of education with 10 of its 13 research universities ranked in the Global Top 200.

After the UK, the Netherlands offers the largest number of English-taught university careers in Europe. Below is an overview of some of the key reasons why international students choose the Netherlands as their destination of choice in continental Europe.
