Yes, some students may have heard that some students studying in the Netherlands do not need language test scores, but this is actually a misunderstanding. All students studying in the Netherlands need to get a language diploma in China. This certificate belongs to NESO and will be provided to the Dutch Immigration Bureau. Without this certificate, the Dutch Immigration Bureau will not issue start-up visas to students. In other words, no matter what level of school you attend in the Netherlands, your language score is necessary, otherwise the Immigration Bureau will not issue you a visa.

2. What language is used for teaching?

The Netherlands is a "multilingual" society, and Dutch universities basically use both Dutch and English for teaching. The degree courses of foreign students entering Dutch universities are generally international courses, and Dutch universities can offer more than 600 international courses with different majors, all of which are taught in English.

Dutch is a very useful course in the first year of university, which facilitates the life of international students during their study in the Netherlands. In fact, studying in the Netherlands is almost like studying in an English-speaking country, because 97% of Dutch people can communicate in fluent English.

3. Can I enter the preparatory course?

Of course. Only some schools in the Netherlands can provide students with preparatory courses (English intensive courses), so there are fewer opportunities to choose such schools. Students need to have TOEFL (60) or IELTS (5.5) to enter the business preparatory class, and TOEFL (45) and IELTS (5.0) to enter the science and engineering preparatory class. Those who have no grades can study business, but they need to pass the entrance English exam.

In view of the poor English ability of China students, especially their listening and speaking ability, some Dutch schools decided to offer 8- 10 weeks of preparatory courses for the admitted China students. The content of the course is mainly to introduce the general situation of the Netherlands, this major course and improve students' English level. Among them, the general situation of the Netherlands and the course introduction of this major are taught by the teachers of the enrollment school in China.
