DUC Roadmap to studying in the Netherlands

Researching about studying in the Netherlands requires organization and proactivity on behalf of students. DUC has put together a roadmap to help you inventory all the important points about your programmes of interest, and how to apply to them. This is not an exhaustive, official list, but a tool to help guide you through your process.

Clicking the link below will lead you to a folder which includes various printable versions of the roadmap, as well as the associated excel work-document for students.

Dutch Higher Education Counseling and Admission Facebook Group (for Counselor Only)

Join us on Facebook! In response to increasing need for counselors to have easy access to a community of Dutch higher education representatives, DUC members created the Dutch Higher Education Counseling and Admission group on Facebook in 2018 (known then as DRU). This group is not exclusive to DUC members, and DUC has made a conscious effort to include additional research universities and universities of applied science in the group. It is a place to ask questions, share information, highlight events and resources that DHEI’s have to offer. Membership is by request only, and membership questions must be answered prior to membership approval.

NACAC Guide to International Admissions

Read the Dutch chapter! The National Association of College and Admission Counselors is the leading professional membership organisation for the counseling and admission community. They create and offer a number of resources. Members of DRU have worked with NACAC to include a chapter on the Netherlands in the last 4 editions of the Guide to International Admissions. This publication is free, and updated yearly.
