Description of education systems in 60 countries
Nuffic offers detailed information on the education systems of about 60 countries in its ‘education country modules’. Apart from a description of how education is organised in a specific country, the modules provide information about the main qualifications issued in the country, as well as how these qualifications are evaluated in the Netherlands.
The country modules are available in English and Dutch and are freely accessible. The country modules in Dutch are mainly used by admission officers of higher education institutions in the Netherlands, when assessing the level of foreign students applying for a programme at their institution.
The country modules in English are beneficial for anyone who seeks detailed information on a specific country’s education system or grading system, or examples of diplomas. The modules on the United States and the United Kingdom seem to be most popular.
Useful for prospective students
The country module on the Dutch education system and grading system is also useful for students who are thinking about studying in Holland. Prospective students can read in detail how education is organised here and they can get a first impression of what their diploma’s are worth.
