Universities in The Netherlands are state-of-theart, with courses given in English and a good mix of Dutch and international students. From agriculture to water resources to management and media, The Netherlands is the place to study” said Michel Deelen, Deputy Head of Mission of the Dutch embassy.

Each year, Nigerians study in the Netherlands, joining close to 112,000 international students from Germany, China, Belgium, Italy and Spain, as well as others international students from over 160 countries.

Job opportunities abound after graduation as The Netherlands is home to some of the biggest multinational corporations in the world. Companies like Philips, Heineken, KLM, Shell, ING and Unilever are Dutch and Holland is a world leader in many areas, including agriculture, water management, art & design, logistics and sustainable energy.
