School overview

The Dutch teaching style is interactive and student-centred. It focuses on teamwork, which makes it easy to meet other international students. Studying in Holland means developing an open mind and increasing your international orientation. A large part of all study programmes is dedicated to writing papers and working in groups to analyse and solve specific problems. You will also get a chance to get practical work experience through internships or experiments in laboratories, depending on the field of study.

Teamwork Holland has received international praise for its teaching style, which centres on students working together as a team, and puts an emphasis on selfstudy and self-discipline. The teacher will act as a facilitator and guide in the learning process. On these pages you will find an overview of the most important schools for expats, starting with the primary and secondary schools and ending with the universities, some of which are famous all over the world because of their high quality.
