Study in Europe: France or Holland?

1. As far as France and the Netherlands are concerned, it is not too difficult to apply for a master's degree from a prestigious school. On the contrary, in the Netherlands, after graduating from high school in China, you can only apply for an H-class university, and you can only apply for a U-class university one year later. The cost of studying for a master's degree is definitely low, because the time is short. The undergraduate course in the Netherlands is three years and the postgraduate course is two years, but the average graduation time is 7.5 years, so it is very hard to graduate on time, so be prepared for hardship. As for the way of thinking, it is not a question of undergraduate and master. Even in high school, you have to adapt. There are great differences between eastern and western cultures. I think it may be easier to tell which ones you want to absorb and which ones are dross when you come back when you are mature.

2. The tuition in France is very low, about 300 euros a year, while it is relatively high in the Netherlands. Every school is different. Please check it online. TUDelft, where I am located, will cost 12000 euros a year. I am a master. I don't know how much, but at least 2500 euros. But you must learn French in France. You can't live in France if you don't know French. The French have poor English. The English penetration rate in Holland is very high. Basically, 80% of people can speak English, and Dutch is not needed in daily life. Most of the master's majors are taught in English, and undergraduate courses are also taught in English, which is more international.

3. There are scholarships in the Netherlands, which are divided into majors and projects. I know several business students who have won the full prize and have to apply for it themselves. The requirements and standards of each scholarship are different, but they must be the top 5%- 10% students.

4. Majors should start from their own interests. I study architectural design. Although this subject is a science and engineering, it is actually biased, with low requirements for mathematics and physics, mainly for personal artistic accomplishment and creativity cultivation, as well as practical ability. Most graduate students are also engaged in design and theory, but in fact they are not engineering majors. More artistic. Of course, the architecture department of Polytechnic University also has many courses in architectural technology, but all of them serve the design. If you think your right brain is not well developed, or you have a strong sense of art, I don't think you should study this, because it is very tired, and it is basically one of the hardest majors in school.
