Academic Universities in The Netherlands

by · 342 Comments

Higher Education in the Netherlands is mainly divided into three tiers:

  • Academic Universities
  • Universities of Professional Education (aka Universities of Applied Sciences)
  • All other universities and colleges

In this post I am focusing on the first of these three tiers.

Below I am listing the main websites of the Academic Universities of the Netherlands, grouped by province (where possible I linked to the English version). Feel free to check out their study programs for international/foreign students.

Groningen

North-Holland

South-Holland

North-Brabant

Utrecht

Gelderland

Overijssel

Limburg

Of course there are more universities in the Netherlands but these are the primary ones of the Academic tier. If you feel I missed one, please feel free to add it in the comments.
