Introduction to the general situation and education system of the Netherlands
The Netherlands has always been the main destination country for international students because of its well-known institutions (the school ranks within 100 in the world), English teaching environment, the background of studying in the European Union and high cost performance. The Netherlands is a small country in central Europe, with a total land area of 410.5 million square kilometers and a national population of10.6710.6 million. The official language is Dutch, and the English penetration rate is the highest among all non-English-speaking countries in Europe. The Netherlands is a hereditary kingdom, and the highest head of state is Queen Bite Alex.

The overall land area of the Netherlands is lower than the sea level, so the requirements for waterproofing and dams are very high. It is precisely because of this that the Netherlands has the most magnificent seawall in the world. But also advanced in water conservancy projects. In addition, the Netherlands is at the world's leading level in construction, agriculture, economy and law. Independent brands are also among the top 100 brands of the times, including Philips, Unilever, Heineken Beer and Shell Oil.

So, what should we pay special attention to in the application process of studying in the Netherlands?

First of all, let's learn about education in the Netherlands:

Being close to the ocean and influenced by the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic, the Netherlands has a mild maritime climate. So the daily temperature difference and the annual temperature difference are not big. The average coastal temperature is about 65438 06℃ in summer and 3℃ in winter. The average temperature in inland is about 65438 07℃ in summer and 2℃ in winter.

Holland is a developed capitalist country and one of the top ten western economic powers. It is the commercial gateway and center of Europe. The financial and banking industry is in the forefront of Europe, and the Amsterdam Exchange is one of the largest exchanges in Europe. International trade is developed, and Rotterdam is one of the three largest ports in the world.

Dutch industry is developed, and the main industrial sectors are food processing, petrochemical industry, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, electronics, steel, shipbuilding, printing, diamond processing and so on. In the past 20 years, attention has been paid to the development of high-tech industries such as aerospace, microelectronics and bioengineering. The traditional industries are mainly shipbuilding and metallurgy. Dutch agriculture is also very developed and it is the third largest exporter of agricultural products in the world. Flowers are a pillar industry in Holland. So enjoy it, okay? European garden? Good name. Financial services, insurance and tourism are developed. Diamond processing is world-famous.

After understanding these situations, we will start our application for studying abroad. Most schools in the Netherlands open their applications in September of the first year, and the admission method is also first come, first served. Because of this particularity, students who want to study in the Netherlands should pay special attention to time planning.

Applying in September means that all application materials must be prepared before the summer vacation of junior year, and the documents in the materials need time to support. Therefore, for students who want to go to the Netherlands, it is necessary to start application preparation as soon as possible. There is no latest time, only the prime time that belongs to their study abroad planning, so we must strive for it.

Secondly, for undergraduate students, U-university in the Netherlands generally needs students to be domestic freshmen, so freshmen who just finished the college entrance examination and want to go to the Netherlands should not forget to study professional courses while relaxing!
