Dutch Education more popular than ever
|
|
In the 2016-17 academic year there were more than 112,000 international students in the Netherlands. That is the highest number ever recorded, Nuffic concludes in the analysis of the latest figures on student mobility. More than 81,000 international students are enrolled in a full degree programme, the remainder is here for shorter stays such as an Erasmus+ exchange.
At Tilburg University we can also see this trend. This year 13050 students started their study programme at Tilburg University and about 13,3% (1735) is coming from abroad. |
