2021 entry applicants - Netherlands universities

I applied to Dutch universities in 2019 but have since started at university in the UK. I vlogged my experience of choosing between the UK and the Netherlands, applying to Dutch Unis and why it did not work out.

I watched your YouTube videos and they were great and very informative! I’m glad you found the right course for you in the end and are now happy at university! I wish you all the best with your course!

hey, is anyone applying to the liberal arts&sciences programmes at the university colleges? specifically anyone thinking of going into pre-med and Master's in medicine afterwards? or anyone applying to Bachelor's in medicine?
I would love to exchange experience and thoughts with others as I don't know too much about the application process to unis in the Netherlands!

Hi!! I applied to AUC just a couple weeks ago, in Social Sciences. Perhaps I can help with something

Hi!

I currently study in Groningen and have previously studied at a UK university (both Bachelor-level) so if anyone has any questions regarding either the Netherlands as a whole, the application process, or Groningen, please don't hesitate to ask

hey! I just wanted to ask how do you like it there and what course are you studying?

Hi! Can i ask about the city? What is it like? What are some pros and cons? What is the city like during corona? Thank you

Hello!

It's a real student city, and the faculty of arts for example is in the city center. I really like this, since it means you're close to everything. I don't know too much about Zernike, though, but the few times I have been there were nice, plus it's still not too far from the city (by bike or public transport). To be fair, since the city itself is not too big, most things are accessible by foot or cycle, and the rest of the Netherlands is easily reached by train. It has everything you need, and the nightlife is fun if that is your thing. If you prefer café's/coffee places, there's enough of those also! Also, because it's a student city - therefore quite international - most people speak English. During corona, it's a bit strange: the first few weeks I went home since everything was shut and we had a stay-at-home order, but it was getting busier again until all non-essential shops were closed a week ago. Since we mainly live in private housing, the situation depends, but my housemates all returned to the city at the start of the semester so I still had some kind of social contact It's definitely a bit less 'fun', but that is to be expected I guess. I guess a con would also be that it's a student city if that is not your thing? Also, you need to start looking for housing quite early on due to the shortage each year. Other than that, I don't have many cons (at least none that I can think of), since it has everything I need and there are nice places to walk (there are a few parks and the city itself is cute).

This was very basic, so if you have any particular thing you want to know, let me know!

What are the tuition fees like at universities in Netherlands?

Thank you so much! I would be studying psychology, so somewhere near the center do you by any chance know someone who is studying psychology? Do they like it? What do they say about the program? What about the ssh housing? Right now i am thinking about Blekerslaan house because it has ovens and at least some common room (which for example moestraat 8 does not have as far as i know) and it isn't a huge house. Is it a good choice? Are there any houses to avoid in particular?

It depends on the degree! For RUG, a ''regular'' bachelor's degree for EU citizens is 2143, but degrees such as medicine are more expensive. A ''regular'' bachelor's degree for internationals is 10000, or 14800 at the faculty of science and engineering. I would suggest checking out the site of the uni you are interested in just to be sure

actually medicine (for EU citizens) also costs 2,143, I think for the EU citizens only the liberal arts and sciences are a bit more expensive, ranging from 2,500 to 4,500 euro per year

Hi!

Not entirely sure, but those who study psychology who I have met did like it. Regarding SSH, I don't know much, but the university has a student-led newspaper that reports on any and all issues that may concern students and I have seen SSH appear, so maybe check out UKrant! (It's in English as well)
