Besides the Nuffic Neso offices, you can find Netherlands Education Information Offices all around the world.
There are three offices, in Morocco, Syria and Turkey, which provide information about studying in Holland in general. They act as contact points for all students and scholars from the host countries who are seeking contact with Dutch research universities and universities of applied sciences.
