Netherlands offers bachelor’s and master’s degree programs

TIRANA, Jan. 7 – The Netherlands, an increasingly popular study destination for students from around the world who are looking to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree, has created a simple way for Albanian students to find information about schools. The www.studychoice.nl website provides detailed information on English-taught bachelor’s and master’s programs available in the Netherlands. According to the 2007 THES-QS World University Rankings, there are no less than 11 Dutch universities in the top 200 universities in the world, which puts the Netherlands in first place among the countries of mainland Europe. In 2007, there were 49,750 international students in the Netherlands. The largest groups of international students come from Germany and China. Two-thirds of the master’s programs are now taught in English and therefore attract a lot of interest from outside the Netherlands. To make things easier for international students, the immigration procedures they have to follow when coming to the Netherlands were simplified in 2007.
