For foreign students, fluent English listening, speaking, reading and writing are essential qualities for studying in the Netherlands. China students applying for Dutch universities must pass the IELTS test. The minimum required score is between 6 and 0 and between 7 and 0 (depending on the nature of the course). IELTS requires 6,0 for undergraduate entrance, 6,0-6,5 for master entrance, and 5,0-5,5 for preparatory study in the Netherlands.

3. you must apply for a master's degree in studying in the Netherlands in advance.

The application for a master's degree in studying in the Netherlands must be made in advance. More and more students realize that only by applying early can they have more opportunities to apply for Dutch signboard majors such as international business management, financial management, law and architecture. There may be more opportunities to get scholarships.

Under the condition that students' conditions are not very prominent, only by applying early can we show our advantages. Moreover, the requirements of application materials for studying abroad in the Netherlands are more stringent. The strictness of application materials is no longer only reflected in GPA, but also requires applicants to provide more reasonable motives, high-quality letters of recommendation and standard application forms to fill in.

Second, study for a master's degree in the Netherlands.

1, Nuffic authentication

Nuffic certificate is an authentication document issued by Nuffic, which is used to check students' academic qualifications and English language background, and is especially suitable for China (except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) students who apply to study English courses in the Netherlands for more than three months.

To study in the Netherlands and apply for a MVV long-term student visa, you must pass the Nuffic certification, and some application materials also need this certification.

Nuffic certification will examine the authenticity of the applicant's academic degree, graduation certificate, undergraduate report card, language test report card and other educational and language background materials to ensure that the applicant has the academic/learning ability described in the materials and can successfully complete the next stage of study. This audit is free of charge.

After the approval, the Nuffic certificate will be issued to the corresponding Dutch school, and the school can submit a long-term student visa application to the Dutch Immigration Planning Bureau.

After the school submits the application, students only need to provide the corresponding materials according to the requirements of the school, and the school will apply for MVV visas for everyone.

It takes a certain time for Nuffic to prepare materials and submit certification, up to two months, and it takes about one month to get a certification visa application. Students remember to reserve time in advance.

English learning is expensive.

Usually, if students can't get qualified language scores at the application stage, they can go to local schools to take language courses, but in the Netherlands, such courses are not within the scope of government subsidies, so the fees are usually higher.

Uncle suggested that students try their best to get qualified language scores in China. If their language level can live and study smoothly, that's best.

Third, study in the Netherlands at low cost.

Path 1: Apply for a government scholarship.

In order to increase the competitive advantage in the global study abroad market, various countries have launched various scholarship programs. There are many kinds of scholarships abroad, especially those with government background, and some of them are even free of tuition. For students with limited domestic economic ability, if they can get scholarships, the bulk of the cost of studying abroad will be settled.

Path 2: Work after school.

The Netherlands pointed out that work-study program has always been a routine way for international students to solve economic problems, which can not only reduce the economic burden, but also accumulate overseas work experience. Because each country's employment policy is different, international students must abide by relevant policies and avoid unnecessary troubles.

Path 3: Avoid popular majors and schools.

International students can master some skills in choosing institutions and majors for studying abroad, and also ease the economic pressure brought by the high cost of studying abroad. In the choice of schools, public universities generally only charge registration fees, while private colleges charge sky-high tuition fees, especially for popular majors such as business and engineering. Usually, there are many outstanding talents in popular majors, and there are relatively few opportunities to get scholarships, and the competition for admission is fierce. Once the application fails, it will cause certain economic losses. Therefore, for China students with limited financial capacity, they should be partial and avoid popular areas and colleges, which can effectively reduce the cost of studying abroad.
