Another top university, the University of Twente concentrates on governance, technology as well as health and management. Universities of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands are known for placing strong emphasis on the practical application of knowledge. For over 50 years now, the country has offered a certain form of higher education, namely advanced courses conducted in English in so-called international education. There are five large Institutes for International Education, accompanied by a number of smaller ones.

Foreign students in the Netherlands 
University accommodation in the Netherlands is next to none. However, housing will often be arranged for those who are participating in an exchange programme or an international course. If this is your case, you should accept it without objection, otherwise you are likely to experience problems in finding a place to live, especially in Amsterdam and around. Already in the Netherlands and still looking for housing? Take the initiative by asking for advice from the international relations office or the student dean; you can also let your fellow students know that you are in need of a room.
