Study in Holland

The Netherlands, also known as Holland, is part of mainland Europe. It sits in Western Europe, with an extensive coastline to the North Sea, and shares land borders with Germany and Belgium. The Netherlands was the first non-native English speaking country to offer courses taught in English to international students. International students can study programmes in Dutch or English, making it a great option for studying abroad.

Study in Netherlands is similar to other popular study abroad destinations in terms of duration:

• Bachelor’s Degree (BA, BSc, BEng): 3-4 Years
• Masters Degree (MA, MSc, MEng): 1-2 Years
• PhD: 4 Years

The Netherlands is an established and revered seat of higher education. In the 2016 QS World University Rankings, two Dutch universities are listed in the top 100. These are the Delft University of Technology and the University of Amsterdam.

Students having IELTS with 6+ bands and 3+ GPA are gurenteed for scholarship with stipend of minimum 800 Euros per month

Important information about choosing a Dutch Institution

Visas

As most courses and degrees run for more than one year most international students will require an entry visa called a Provisional Residence Permit or Machtiging tot Voorlopig Verblijf (MVV) in Dutch. Your MVV will allow you entry into the country for a six month period and once in the country you will need to apply for a Residence Permit – your chosen University should do this on your behalf.

A Provisional Residence Permit (MVV) will only be granted if your application meets certain requirements, including but not limited to:

• You must have a valid passport
• You have sufficient financial means
• All required fees have been paid
• You have a letter from your host University stating you have or will be enrolling
