The Netherlands has been named the #2 study abroad country in Europe and #7 in the world, according to new rankings released by higher education search portal, educations.com.
“Many international students choose to study here and the country enjoys a diverse international community,” the report says. The 2019 rankings are based on a survey of over 20,000 students from around the world who shared their priorities and concerns when choosing where to study abroad. The top factors that students voiced were used as a quantitative metric, and data from various external industry reports were used to score and rank 61 countries.

Teaching quality and career goals
The Netherlands scored impressively in both the teaching quality (#3 in Europe) and career goals (#4) rankings. With an emphasis on an interactive and student-centered teaching style, as well as a diverse international community, the Netherlands is a very popular place to not only study but remain after graduation. This is especially because the Dutch government is set on retaining international talent, with the option to apply for a one year residence permit upon graduation. The Netherlands is a natural choice when seeking a destination to study and build a professional career in.
