WHY EUROPE?
When international students look at European universities it is quite common for them to search for English-taught degrees equivalent to those on offer at US/British universities. They tend to choose a degree with a single focus, whether it is in arts, engineering or law. This is a natural and understandable inclination in the decision-making process.
Unless actively encouraged to broaden their horizons, students can overlook an alternative form of education that allows them the rare freedom to bring together disparate subjects they’re passionate about, the joy of constant learning and exploration, and the chance to gain multifaceted knowledge about the world. Similar to the US, this is at the core of all liberal arts degrees in the Netherlands.At the end of a liberal arts undergraduate programme, students earn a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of Sciences (BSc), depending on the focus of the curriculum. These qualifications are considered equivalent to US/British bachelor’s degrees. Many liberal arts students go on to study Masters degrees at the best universities in the world.
Why Liberal Arts Colleges in the Netherlands?
Dutch universities have emerged as leaders among European peers in adopting the American model of liberal arts education. The broad, flexible and interdisciplinary nature of liberal arts degrees offers international students something that they are unlikely to find at other European universities. By choosing to study liberal arts in the Netherlands, they also benefit from the chance to access US-style education at a much lower cost and a lot closer to home.
