Founded in 2010, the Dutch Research University Consortium (DRU) consisted of 7 members from Research Universities across the Netherlands, until the addition of two collaborative partners in 2022 from Universities of Applied Science. This broadened the scope of the consortium and precipitated the need to change our name to the Dutch University Consortium (DUC). Consortium members work together to give access to information about study options and systems in the Netherlands, as well as their own institutions.

DUC has created this website as an informative resource for all students, parents, teachers and counselors to help determine if the Netherlands is the right study destination for the student, manage expectations, and find the right fit programme.

Currently, DUC does not have any upcoming events for the 2023 fall semester. There will be events in the 2024 spring semester that DUC members will collaborate on for counselors. In the meantime, you can check out the events being held by each member institution to learn more about their programmes.
