Student Life
Images of the Netherlands are common, from clogs and tulips to vibrant Amsterdam and an open and welcoming society. But these traditional perceptions of the country hide a much more interesting story, one of excellent universities and an international reputation for research and development in many of the most exciting fields of education, science and technology.
The international outlook for which the Netherlands is famous is also reflected in the range of degree programmes on offer. There are few non-English speaking countries where the range of English-speaking programmes is so wide and diverse.

Overall the quality of the Dutch higher education is amongst the best in the world.

Education at VU University Amsterdam is structured according to the Bachelor’s and Master’s system. Students embark on a one-year or two-year Master’s programme after completing a Bachelor’s programme, which usually takes three years. After graduating from the Master’s programme, some students opt to study for a doctorate.
Generally speaking, the teaching style can be described as student-centered: we stimulate students to develop their own opinion through independent and creative thinking. At VU University Amsterdam this means that teaching is conducted in small tutorials, where interactivity is the norm rather than the exception. At all turns, students are invited to question the professors.
