Being a small country, Holland is open to the world. The strong connection between Dutch higher education and the business world creates opportunities for practical assignments and internships. The Dutch education system is interactive, student-centred and focused on teamwork — founded on respect for each individual’s opinions, giving students the freedom to develop their own creativity.
