Navigating Dutch Higher Education: From Research Degrees to Real-World Skills
The Dutch higher education system is like a perfect blend of brain power and hands-on experience. If you're aiming for the University (WO) route, prepare for research-focused degrees (Bachelor, Master, or PhD) at top schools like University of Amsterdam and TU Delft—where you'll need a VWO diploma and a solid grasp of English. On the other hand, Applied Sciences (HBO) focuses more on real-world skills with internships, industry connections, and practical projects. Tuition fees vary—expect €2,314 per year for EU students and €8,000-15,000 for non-EU. But don’t worry, there are scholarships, career counseling, and even sports clubs to keep you balanced while you tackle those textbooks (or try to find time to party, no judgment here).
