Possibilities for studying abroad :
** If you have decided to study abroad for part of your degree, an exchange programme may be what you are looking for.

** Nearly all research universities and universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands have exchange partnerships with foreign education institutions, for example through the Erasmus+ programme. Please be aware that most of the pages referred to are in Dutch

Exchange programmes :
** The advantage of an exchange programme is that many of the details that need to be worked out have already been arranged, such as housing, insurance, recognition of your credits, assistance and guidance on location, exemption from paying tuition, and – last but not least – a student grant. For more information about specific exchange programmes you might be eligible for, please contact the international office at your university.

** Your options are not limited to the foreign institutions that have an exchange agreement with your university. If you would prefer not to use those contacts or are not eligible for the exchange programmes, you will have to make your own arrangements. Find out as much as you can about education systems, study programmes and all sorts of other practical matters, such as enrolment, visas and permits.

Full bachelor’s degree :
** If you are considering studying abroad for an entire degree programme, you naturally want to know if your secondary school diploma is a valid qualification for admission to a programme in another country.

** Eligibility differs depending on the country and programme. Since the final decision is made by the foreign education institution, you should ask that institution about its admission policies.

Full master’s degree :
** If you have a Dutch bachelor’s degree, you are generally eligible for admission to a master’s programme abroad. Always make sure that you receive a diploma supplement for your Dutch study programme.

** The diploma supplement states that the study programme and the degree are accredited, describes how the Dutch marking system works and explains that a Dutch hogeschool is called a ‘university of applied sciences’ abroad.
