Here you can learn about how the Netherlands education system works and how we - and you - fit into it.
AUAS is a university of applied sciences. This means it is focused more on practice rather than theory. Here you can read more about how this differs from more academic, research-based universities.
At AUAS your grades are automatically transferable throughout Europe and are recognised around the world. Here you can find out about how grades are awarded in the Netherlands, and how the grade transfer system works.
Each course defines a minimum number of credits you need to obtain to pass the year. The decision of whether you pass the year or not is called the Binding Study Advice. A positive BSA means you pass the year, a negative BSA means you do not pass. If you are on course to receive a negative BSA, will receive warnings earlier in the year.
Once their courses are picked, every student is invited for a Study Check. This involves an online questionnaire about whether you have made an informed choice of degree programme.
Where courses have limited places, they select students. Find out which courses use selection process and what those processes are.
All AUAS programmes are accredited by the NVAO (Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders). Many of our English-taught programmes also have additional international accreditation status. AUAS endorses the Code of Conduct for International Students in Dutch Higher Education, which constitutes a pledge of quality for all students.
They say that the Dutch teaching style is interactive and student-centered. Is that also the experience of international students? See this video by Study in NL.
