Our Dutch system of higher education differs from other international systems of higher education. The most important difference is that in the Netherlands we uphold a difference between a university of applied sciences and a research university, like the University of Amsterdam. In order to be eligible to a Master’s programme at our research university (the majority are one-year Master's programmes), all students, both Dutch and international students, need to have completed an academic Bachelor’s degree from a research university.

NUFFIC guidelines

All international degrees are evaluated on the basis of the guidelines provided by the NUFFIC. Please be advised that before applying to one of our programmes, to carefully consult the country specific details about the comparison to our Dutch system of higher education at the Nuffic diploma recognition page.
