Dutch University Colleges

In the Netherlands, as with most countries in Europe, almost everyone who manages to complete an undergrad degree goes on to do a master’s course. Over the past decade, universities have gradually realised that the in-depth specificity of post-grad education means that bachelor’s courses need not be so constraining in terms of subject choices. more..
