I'd like to introduce the famous open university in the Netherlands, hoping to help students studying abroad. Want to know more about the wonderful content of studying abroad, and give you detailed answers. The Open University, founded in 1985, is an independent institution of open higher education funded by the government. The purpose of the Dutch government to establish an open university is to enable anyone who has the ability and interest to receive higher education. The constitution of the Open University stipulates two development goals: to create a more economical form of higher education and to encourage the reform and innovation of higher education in curriculum and teaching methods.

The Open University has 65,438+08 learning centers in the Netherlands and Belgium.

The degrees awarded by the Open University of the Netherlands are completely equivalent to those awarded by other traditional universities in the Netherlands.

Many students of the Open University have obtained degrees and are studying one or more courses to gain additional knowledge or different vocational training. At present, the Open University has 22,000 students, about 70% of whom are employed. Most of them choose the Open University precisely because the school allows them to freely choose the time and place of study and make progress at their own pace.

The Open University of the Netherlands has improved and promoted the standards and innovation of higher education. To some extent, it has recognized the different needs of society, education market and students for higher education, and cooperated with its own branch networks and alliances to put them into practice at national, European and global levels.

2.EXCEC notes

The Open University is recognized as one of the real universities in the same group as utrecht university and Leiden University. It is worth noting that the Dutch higher education system is mainly composed of two types of higher education institutions: one is 14 university (the Open University is one of them), and the other is 55 higher vocational universities. The degree standards obtained by higher education vocational colleges are different from those obtained by universities. Universities can award doctorates, but higher vocational colleges can't.

There were not many international projects in the past, but the Open University hopes to carry out more activities through strategic cooperation with MSM. Co-organized with MSM Accelerated Bachelor of Science? This project is the first achievement of these cooperation. Please refer to MSM courses on this website for course information.
