Little known to French students, the Netherlands offers a wide range of courses. Although the Dutch language represents a real obstacle for some, the country is very open to foreign cultures and languages, especially English and German. There are even more than 1,500 programmes in English. Studying in the Netherlands can only be a wise choice!
In general, the Dutch higher education system is reputed to be very good. The country adopts a binary system, consisting of Vocational Colleges (hogescholen) (offering a degree comparable to a bachelor's degree) and universities. These institutions are subject to European standards, i.e. the Bologna Agreement, offering Bachelor (3 years), Master (1-2 years) and Doctorate (4 years) degrees.
