Are you looking for a Bachelor or Master education in The Netherlands? Luckily for you, there is a new website that allows you to search through more than 2500 studies in The Netherlands (or ‘Holland’ as some call it, see also our previous article about the difference between The Netherlands and Holland). The website’s name is Study Choice 123. Although a number of the studies are given in Dutch only, you may be able to find a lot of English taught courses. I hope you find it useful (please let me know in the comments).

Remember, if you are also looking for scholarships or grants, be sure to check out one of our previous post about scholarships and grants for studying in the Netherlands.
