Academic Universities in The Netherlands

July 30, 2008 by Anna · —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

  • University of Groningen

North-Holland

  • University of Amsterdam
  • VU University (Amsterdam)

South-Holland

  • Erasmus University (Rotterdam)
  • University Leiden
  • Delft University of Technology

North-Brabant

  • University of Technology (Eindhoven)
  • University Tilburg

Utrecht

  • University of Utrecht

Gelderland

  • Radboud University (Nijmegen)
  • Wageningen University

Overijssel

  • University of Twente (Enschede)

Limburg

  • Maastricht University
  • Open University (Heerlen) – long distance learning, study centers all over the Netherlands

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.

    Sir/Madam,
    I have been admitted to CAH Dronten University for a short course in that is for 10 months since its time for processing visa and to submit the fee. I dint have the enough financial supports to go forward and I need a sponsor or any scholarship who can sponsor my study in the Netherlands. I can prove the admission by producing the acceptance letter from one of the dutch university.
    Therefore, I need a help for my study please kindly let me know if any organization or individuals who can assist me for the same.
