Hi!! Ik ben van plan in januari de 21+ toets te maken op De Haagse Hogeschool. Ik heb hiervoor dus op de opgegeven site geoefend (https://www.noa-online.net/LandingPage.aspx?CompanyId=1024&ProjectId=9709) alleen was erbij vermeld dat de oefenvragen op die site alleen bedoeld zijn om je een indruk te geven op de vraagstelling en niet van de moeilijkheidsgraad. De oefenvragen waren dus enorm makkelijk, maar mijn vraag is of er iemand dus eigenlijk weet hoe moeilijk het daadwerkelijk is? En hoe ik hier het best voor kan leren?

Ook twijfel ik nog tussen een NL en EN opleiding dus als er hier iemand de Engelstalige 21+ toets heeft gemaakt zou je tips kunnen geven pls..

Hi, I am a last year High School studnent from Hungary who wants to study law. I know that english programs are not worth as dutch taught programs, however I am not interested in the judicary part of law for an examle Judges, lawyers etc. I am more interested in international law and international relations part of it, for example EU, Nato, UN, and even diplomacy (Most of the hungarian diplomats and EU, Un delegate studied law). Having said that would you recommend the dutch LLB-s or should I do a normal law course in Hunagry then do a master in International Law?

My other question is that I had visited some of the dutch law Univesities (Groningen and the Hague) and I think I mostly understand the main differences but still it is very confusing which could be a better fit? Are the career prospects any different?

Also I have not been able to visit the other 2 english taught LLB-s Maastricht and Tilburg. Out of the 4 which is the one with the best reputation?

I know its a lot of question but I am grateful for any answers.

Thank you.

I hope this is the right place to ask but ive been so confused with studielink and scholarships etc, for context, I want to apply to psychology bsc (starting from 2026) because apparently you can only apply to 2 unis?? and if thats the case how does one even apply to scholarships knowing that they are super limited because i know that i fill the requirements into joining these unis + i have many extracurriculars and achievements but the entire process is scaring me because its genuinely so confusing, like the more research i do the more confusing it gets

I am a highschool international student , thinking about studying IT/CS/DATA in the Netherlands because the country has shown to be on an uprising in this field. But i have just learnt about the two main types of schools here which are hbo and wo. Ive been reading for about 30 mins and have come across conflicting answers. What I want as an outcome is a respectable/recognizable degree in a respectable/recognizable university that can help me get a job and skills needed in that job. What have you people learnt in the netherlands? what do you suggest? lets talk in the comments.

Hi everyone!

I am a Master’s student in Amsterdam and been living in the same place for 3 years now with a room mate and an indefinite contract.

My brother is thinking of coming to amsterdam to study next scholastic year and my mum had been insistently saying that he can register at the municipality under my address since he is my brother.

He is not under 18 though and I am not his guardian so would the (Amstelveen) municipality even accept that?

Also my apartment only allows 2 people on one contract, with the new laws, would it be not safe to make a new contract with his name and my room mate’s on it? Given the fact that my room mate and I finish studying in 2026 (and I wanted to move in with my boyfriend during my last year of studies as well)

If anyone can give tips and facts, I’d love to hear since I have not seen much online!

Hello allemaal, i have question, have you ever study helpende en welzijn mbo 2 with NTI or LOI? And need the stage plek? How is searching for stageplek in zorg? Because i heard many rejections from the ouderhuizen for people that serching stageplek in there, and most of them want from ROC students. Thank you for your time 😀

Hello. I am applying to HBO Masters Program in Social Design at Design Academy Eindhoven. If this post reaches any alumni or current student from DAE who is willing to review my portfolio and provide feedback, please let me know!

Hi all,

Im a first year student studying in the netherlands (from Europe). I signed a contract with my landlord to live in the house from August 2024 until August 2025. My landlord lives in the house along with one other person. I have registered to this address with the municipality.

My landlord told me that he will be signing a contract to aquire a house elsewhere and will consequently be registering his address at the new house. He has told me that I can only stay registered at this house for maybe like 2-3 months he signs the contract, then I will have to register my address somewhere else but I can continue living here and paying rent.

Has anyone experienced a situation like this and if so what do I do. I dont fully understand why I cant just say registered in this house until my contract ends.

Any information would be appreciated.

Hi! I completed the IB last year and took a break this year. I am looking at different universities in the Netherlands, but I doubt whether the SAT or ACT is mandatory, even though I thought IB was already enough. I heard it's a requirement in other unis? (I want to study International Business Admin or Economics and Business Econ) I would like to apply at Tilburg, Rotterdam, Maastricht, and Groningen.

Hello everyone!

I’ve received conditional admission to the Computing Science programs at Fontys Venlo, Maastricht, and Groningen University. The only condition is to send my original diploma transcript to the Admission Board by post.

To be honest, Groningen attracts me the most—it’s a beautiful city, especially for students. However, Fontys also seems really nice and is the most practical among the three universities, as far as I’ve seen.

Unfortunately, I am lacking information about Maastricht, heard about their problem based learning method, but I didn't see any recent reviews about the program.

Of course, housing is a major issue for prospective students in the Netherlands, so it will be one of the most important factors in choosing a city to study in.

I would love to hear your thoughts or experiences with these universities. If you have any useful information, please don’t hesitate to share it briefly.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Anyone who is currently studying master's in SCM from Erasmus University Rotterdam?

hi guys i am going to be taking the selection test for tu/e’s bachelor in computer science and i was wondering if i need to study for it/how i should study. i have this website https://exam.oncourse.tue.nl/exam-2020/course/index.php?categoryid=24 but i cant log in since i dont have an actual account with the university. any other ways i can find practice materials??

I saw that the scholarship is awarded in the first year of the studies. Does this mean we can apply for it again next year (in second year too). Or is this a one-time thing?

Hi, i’m a 24 year old prospective student of econometrics and operations research at university of groningen. I’ve secured housing and everything, but i’m still doubtful about studying at this later stage in life. I’ve worked in different areas of marketing (video editing, 3d artist, google and facebook ads), but i always wanted to study and learn more about economics and econometrics. What are my chances of finding a job after finishing my studies based on my experience and after learning dutch.

I am very confused with the residency gap as i switch my visa from student visa to hsm visa (amending the visa) in the last minute. I am extremely confused whether I will have a residency gap or not in my case. I called IND many times and every time they say new information. someone please help.

hey , I'm applying for ibeb and iba program and i just wanted to know my chances

Thanks :)

1. pm me if you have been admitted in these three unis, lets connect(im going to any uni that i find housing, im planning to stay in NL after bachelors)

int’l student here, admitted to econ/econmet&ds

2. is housing issue easier in groningen? i still expect it to be hard

3. the new dutch rulings- passed or not? does it affect english programmes? selectivity?

4. cost of living 1500(for amsterdam, rotterdam)a month, realistic? planning to spend max 1200 in rent, my calculations say 30k euro a year in total + tuition and travel, realistic?

Hi! I have recieved an admit for the Urban Environment Management course at the Wageningen University starting from September 2025. I'd like to connect with other people who are applying at Wageningen University or have been admitted. I have heard that finding housing is a major concern and we should start as early as we can. Feel free to contact me if you're on the same boat.

Hi guys, what do you think about safety&security management at The Hague Uni of Applied Sciences? It you have any experience, please let me know!

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about applying for the Master of Computational Science at UvA. I would love to get some insights from people who have already completed the program. What was your experience like and what are you doing now?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I am considering to apply for Vrije unj in Masterdam. Has anyone experience with that and requirements for NON-EU students? I am IB and are predicted important or they only consider final?

I'm a first year non-EU Psychology student at EUR right now but I'm stressed out because of the problem-based learning (PBL) method. I only have 1 lecture per week (~2hr) last block and it doubles this block but that's not enough for me. Everything else is tutorial group meetings to discuss with friends the material that you had to read beforehand. Having to read 200 pages per week on my own is exhausting. I still can handle the work but I'm scared that I can't make it for the next 2 years. I love Psychology and I want to pursue it anyway but I'm seeking for better options before it's too late. The university requires us to pass every course on first year and we only have 1 test for 100% grade of each course (there're some exception but it's like 2 months per course so that's rush)

My question is:

• Is there any other university that offers more lectures? How is the study experience there in general?
• Should I take the risk to transfer to another university? Do they require to reapply for the first year?

I heard some universities have more flexible teaching/test-taking way but not so sure (e.g. some told me that UvA has more lectures, Maastricht has portfolio instead of only tests scores). I only want somewhere that I can have more lectures or more flexible teaching method and not all about PBL 🙏 No hate on my university, I have other great experience here. My interest might be clinical/cognitive psychology if that would help

I’m a Chilean student heading to UvA for an exchange semester next spring. I’m wondering if there are any job opportunities for international students during their exchange.

I’m not sure if the visa I’ll have will allow me to work, so I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in a similar situation or knows about earning money while studying as an exchange student in the Netherlands.

Any advice, resources, or experiences you can share would be super helpful.

Hi Everyone - does anyone have any impressions or experiences from Univ College Fryslan (Global Resp and Leadership), good or bad? It would be for an international student from the US. Thanks!

Examencommissie Help

Heb jullie advies of mening nodig. Leerling heeft advies van leerkracht gekregen uitgumbare pennen te gebruiken zodat iedereen netjes kan werken. Nu heeft dat leerling tentames gehad en nagekeken en was toch beetje teleurgesteld op één vak over haar cijfer wat een voldoende was, ze had er zo hard voor geleerd dit had ze hoger verwacht. Nu heeft ze heel impulsief gehandeld en wat uitgegumd en gecorrigeerd dus kreeg ze kleine verhoging cijfer. Achteraf heeft de leerling hier heel veel spijt van en heeft zelf bekend dat ze dit heeft gedaan omdat ze spijt had en bang was dat ze erachter zouden komen. Advies van ouders was ook wees eerlijk daarmee bereik je het meeste mee. Veel verdriet en veel spanning kwam eruit. Nu moet de leerling voorkomen bij de examencommissie. Mijn vraag als de leerling straf krijgt wat zal dat zijn? En valt het echt onder 'fraude' aangezien ze voor het behalen van haar tentamencijfer niks fout heeft gedaan en een voldoende scoorde. Ze heeft dus alleen achteraf iets gecorrigeerd wat natuurlijk niet goed is, maar heeft ook veel daadkracht getoond door het zelf te bekennen en door het stof te gaan. Is de leerling genoeg door het stof gegaan door te bekennen en er echt heel erg mee te zitten, wachten op wat er komen gaat en cijfer weer terug zoals ze eerlijk heeft behaald?

I am soon to be in college and am thinking of studying abroad and the Netherlands has been on my radar to study in.

Hi guys, hope you are doing well! I have a question regarding my future education.

I completed a non-engineering BSc in the Netherlands and desperately wanted to move to engineering the moment I finished. I know, I should have done quit the previous BSc and start a engineering one but we are too late for that (I can't financially support another BSc). I am now doing a premaster at Delft for a semi-engineering degree, which requires me to study all (yes all) the mathematics that Civil/Mechanical undergrad Engineers in Delft are taught (including programming courses.)

The thing is, I am really enjoying this and getting really good grades (8's and 9's). I know these are the basic mathematics courses, and the harder ones are yet to come, but they motivate me and want me to understand more about engineering principles and how things work. My goal is to get into a graduate level engineering degree. I am not saying that will be a walk in the park for me, but it is something that I aspire to do and am willing to work very hard for.

My best bet is too keep performing well academically for all the courses this year, and talk with professors/study advisors to see if I can get into another premaster program that teaches me all the necessary engineering physics and some lab projects. But I am still young and naive and have no idea what the best strategy is to tackle this problem. Is there anyone who knows someone who has gone through this too? Or can anyone give me some advice or pointers? Would be much appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read this

Hi I am applying for IBA bachelors in Netherlands, recently I got OPMT - A exam and got 73%. Mine question is should I give retest for OPMT to get 75% for Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam or Should I choose Tilburg University OR Radboud University (Already got the offer letter from both)

As per my research

EUR fees is more than Tilburg, living cost is more there.

Tilburg is more academically oriented with a focus on research. Erasmus is better for practical learning and global business exposure.

Erasmus is ranked higher globally and has a stronger international brand. Strong focus on internships and placements in global companies
