What are the reasons for choosing the Netherlands?

To study in the Netherlands, we should not only know the application conditions and the cost of studying abroad, but also look forward to studying in Finland. Let's take a look at the advantages of studying in Holland. What is the reason for choosing the Netherlands?

First of all, let's look at the reasons why international students choose Holland.

1. Freedom

The Netherlands is recognized as a free country, just as things that are traditionally considered illegal are allowed in the Netherlands. Holland has quiet towns and crazy parties. There are windmills, tulips and dj rock music. Ten thousand people have ten thousand Hamlets in their eyes and ten thousand Holland in their hearts. Here, you can boldly choose your own life, no one will judge you, and no one has the right to interfere in your life. This is respect and care for human nature.

For international students, freedom is more academic. An international student in the Netherlands told me, "If you discuss with a professor, you will never feel that he is superior.". You can express any opinions on any academic issues, and the professor will fully respect you and help you, even if he disagrees. So there have been so many scholars and inventions in the Netherlands since ancient times.

At the same time, when everything seems legal, everything is under control. The Netherlands has the lowest divorce rate, drug abuse rate and crime rate in Europe. This is a free and safe country that fully respects human nature and human rights.

2. Environment

The Netherlands has been ranked in the top five in the list of livable countries in the world, including low crime rate, food safety, high-quality educational resources, high employment rate and wage level, as well as natural environment such as climate, clean air and water quality. Maybe some people don't like the windy and rainy weather in Holland, but this climate keeps Holland clean all the time. Moreover, in my study abroad group, some people really like Dutch style. Although there are many windy days, it will never blow sand all over the scalp like China. There is also a lot of rain in Holland. The streets are always wet, clean and romantic. No matter what your attitude towards the weather in the Netherlands, it varies from person to person, but objectively speaking, the climate in the Netherlands is very livable.

As for education in the Netherlands, it goes without saying that the universities here have their own characteristics. Every school has its own advantages and characteristics, and every school has international students from all countries, not just from China. The proportion of students in China only accounts for 9% of the total number of international students. The Netherlands is very inclusive and highly internationalized. Every school attaches great importance to academic rigor, and the graduation rate and enrollment rate are relatively low. I admit that the comprehensive ranking of Dutch universities is not as good as the Ivy League in the United States, but the specialty of each school is as famous as the famous American universities in academic circles, and its professional ranking is also among the best. The comprehensive ranking problem is also due to the Dutch education system with "scattered educational resources". It is absolutely possible for international students to receive the most advanced and rigorous education in the world in the Netherlands. If what I said is not convincing enough, please look at the score of the Netherlands in the ranking of livable countries in the world.

3. Excellent geographical location

The geographical location of the Netherlands is very convenient, with Britain in the northwest, Nordic countries in the northeast, and neighboring France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland. The most beautiful place in Europe is that there are many small countries, but the history and culture of each country are different. If you choose to go to Holland instead of a European textbook, you will learn more about civilization, broaden your horizons, and personally realize that there are other things in the world besides China culture and American culture.

Next, we need to know the top ten advantages of the Netherlands.

1. World-class teaching quality

Dutch higher education is world-renowned for its quality. According to the 20 18 World University Ranking and the 20 18 QS World University Ranking, about 85% of the research universities in the Netherlands 14 are among the top 200 universities in the world, which is the region with the highest density of top universities in the world and is rated as "the most valuable higher education system in the world".

2.2 100 international courses taught in English

In recent years, international business and management courses, economics, electronic engineering and architectural and civil engineering have become the most popular subjects for China students. Dutch universities offer more than 265,438+000 English courses, which is the largest among non-English-speaking countries. In addition, the English penetration rate of the Dutch is over 95%, so China students can study and live in the Netherlands conveniently without learning Dutch.

3. A truly international classroom

At present, there are more than 9,000 international students from more than 60 countries in the Netherlands. The number of students studying in China in the Netherlands is about 6,600, accounting for only 8% of the total number of international students. The highly internationalized learning environment in the Netherlands helps to cultivate students' international vision, and students can better adapt to the internationalized working environment in their future work.

4. A truly international classroom

5. The tuition is reasonable and cost-effective.

Compared with other major destination countries, the tuition fees charged by Dutch universities are relatively reasonable, especially considering the high-quality educational resources, it can be said that studying in the Netherlands is quite cost-effective. In addition, the Dutch government and universities, including Neso China, have provided generous scholarships for China students who are interested in studying in the Netherlands.

6. Schengen visa, the visa pass rate is high

The Dutch government has formulated friendly and preferential policies for international students. The Netherlands implements a visa return policy for students, that is, students do not need to attend interviews, and the Dutch universities they apply for apply to the Dutch Immigration Bureau on their behalf. After the student visa is passed, they can get it in embassies and consulates in China, the Netherlands.

7. The visa can be extended for one year after graduation.

The Dutch government is willing to attract international talents for local employment. In order to provide international students with opportunities to gain work experience, the Netherlands allows foreign students to apply for a one-year "job visa" within three years after graduation from Dutch universities (undergraduate or above), and students can choose to find a job or start a business.
