What are the language requirements for studying in the Netherlands?

# 中中中中 # Introduction I believe that all students who have studied in the Netherlands know that the Netherlands is an authentic multilingual country. Although Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands, students who apply to study in the Netherlands need to pass the English exam in order to study in the Netherlands successfully. If you can't meet the requirements, you need to complete the study of the Dutch preparatory course. If their language scores are qualified, they can apply for undergraduate courses. Then let's introduce the language requirements for studying in the Netherlands, hoping to help the students.

1. What language is used to study in Holland?

The Netherlands is a "multilingual" society, and Dutch universities basically use both Dutch and English for teaching. The degree courses of foreign students entering Dutch universities are generally international courses, and Dutch universities can offer more than 600 international courses with different majors, all of which are taught in English.

Dutch is a very useful course in the first year of university, which facilitates the life of international students during their study in the Netherlands. In fact, studying in the Netherlands is almost like studying in an English-speaking country, because although English is not the official language of the Netherlands, 97% of Dutch people can communicate in fluent English.

2. Is Dutch a must for studying in the Netherlands?

Yes, some students may have heard that some students studying in the Netherlands don't need language scores. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. All students studying in the Netherlands need to get a language diploma in China. This certificate belongs to NESO and will be provided to the Dutch Immigration Bureau. Without this certificate, the Dutch Immigration Bureau will not issue start-up visas to students. In other words, no matter what level of school you attend in the Netherlands, your language score is necessary, otherwise the Immigration Bureau will not issue you a visa.

3. Can international students enter the preparatory classes in the Netherlands to improve their English scores, and then enter the formal courses after reaching the standard?

Of course. Only some schools in the Netherlands can provide students with preparatory courses (English intensive courses), so there are fewer opportunities to choose such schools. Students need to have TOEFL (60) or IELTS (5.5) to enter the business preparatory class, and TOEFL (45) and IELTS (5.0) to enter the science and engineering preparatory class. Those who have no grades can study business, but they need to pass the entrance English exam.

In view of the poor English ability of China students, especially their listening and speaking ability, some Dutch schools decided to offer 8- 10 weeks of preparatory courses for the admitted China students. The content of the course is mainly to introduce the general situation of the Netherlands, this major course and improve students' English level. Among them, the general situation of the Netherlands and the course introduction of this major are taught by the teachers of the enrollment school in China.

Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands, but applying for studying in the Netherlands requires an English proficiency test, because the Netherlands is a multilingual country and all international courses in the Netherlands are taught in English. However, students whose language is not up to standard need not worry. You can also apply for a university by taking the Dutch preparatory course.
