One. gather information
When choosing schools and majors, it is very important to have objective and reliable information to refer to, and this information needs to be collected and sorted out by everyone, which takes a long time, so everyone must start preparing early.
You can check the school, or get in touch with the teacher of the admissions office directly to get official information, so as to avoid being misled. Of course, if you are not confident in your ability to select information, you can consider seeking the help of a professional intermediary.
Second, apply for schools.
First of all, you should prepare all the materials that need to be submitted for application. When consulting the above information, you should be able to get a complete list and prepare it step by step as required. Most of the materials are ready-made, just prepare the language in advance.
The application is submitted directly to the school. You can submit it directly through the school. You need to register your identity and improve your basic information, then fill in the application form, pay the application fee after submission, and finally mail other materials that cannot be submitted online.
Third, apply for a visa.
If you want to apply for an express MVV visa, you must apply for a Neso certificate before submitting it. You need to go to NesoBeijing's office to double-certify your IELTS or TOEFL scores and academic qualifications.
Students' visa application materials are submitted to the school, and the school directly applies for MVV visa from IND. After the exam is successful, students will receive the notice from the embassy directly. At this time, they can go with their passports.
Fourth, prepare to leave.
Travel needs to be confirmed, that is, everyone's flight information. You must book your own air ticket in advance, and then contact the airport pick-up staff to enjoy the direct school service for a little money, which can save a lot of trouble on the way.
Then, you should pack your luggage in advance, buy relevant insurance and arrange accommodation after arrival, so you don't have to worry about accommodation after landing.

College students can go to undergraduate courses in this way.
3, professional requirements
If you declare a major, you should generally declare a major related to your previous major. Otherwise, it is likely to be rejected directly, because the Netherlands has professional restrictions and cannot apply for other majors across the original major. The school doesn't quite understand the matter of changing majors, and they will reject your application because they are worried that you don't have basic concepts. But it is not helpless. You can study in the preparatory course of the school for half a year or one year, so there are no professional restrictions.

You only need to pay to get the finished product, and then you can leave directly without cleaning up. You can also choose to cook by yourself.

On the other hand, the legal system in the Netherlands is very similar to that in mainland China, which is very helpful for students in China.
The Dutch Law School recommended Leiden University, Amsterdam University and Maastricht University.

The land area of the Netherlands is only 2.5 times that of Beijing, but it is the second largest grain exporter in the world, which is inseparable from the developed agricultural level in the Netherlands.

8. Introduction to the characteristics of Dutch application for studying abroad
First, applications from universities of science and engineering are relatively concentrated.
Dutch students' applications for science and engineering are relatively concentrated. There are three science and engineering colleges in the Netherlands, namely Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology and Trent University. Every year, when receiving inquiries from science and engineering students, overseas experts mainly recommend these well-known universities of science and technology, which leads to relatively concentrated applications. Many students who applied this year chose Delft Institute of Technology. This caused fierce competition and delayed the final admission. Although Delft University of Technology has raised the admission standards, the number of applicants is still growing rapidly.
Students can consider other institutions in the Netherlands, such as Berlage School of Architecture, which is a professional international school of architecture. Landscape architecture and environmental urban planning of Wageningen University; The College of Housing and Development of Erasmus University in Rotterdam has a major in housing and urban planning. Such institutions are a better choice in terms of application success rate and future employment.
Second, art students' choice of Holland is on the rise.
With the increasing popularity of studying in the Netherlands, most art colleges in the Netherlands gradually offer courses taught in English. For example, the Royal Academy of Art in Amsterdam, Altzer Academy of Art, Eindhoven Academy of Art, Utrecht Academy of Art, etc. All of them have opened art subjects taught in English, such as fashion design, jewelry design, fashion strategy, oil painting, music and so on. However, the number of enrollment places in art colleges is very small.
Third, students begin to prepare early and apply early.
More and more students choose the strategy of applying early and preparing their language scores early, which is most obvious among business students. Most students who want to apply for business school are prepared to attack well-known and world-ranked institutions, such as Tilburg University, Erasmus University in Rotterdam and Amsterdam University. As we all know, this kind of university has strict requirements, strict examinations, limited admission places and requires IELTS scores and GMAT scores. Most students begin to prepare various English scores as early as their junior year, hoping to improve the success rate of application.
The Netherlands allows students to make up their English scores later, but the application materials need to be reviewed by the school in advance. As long as the students have excellent background conditions, the school can wait for the students to make up the IELTS and GMAT scores.
9. List of luggage to be prepared for studying in the Netherlands
1 file
Whenever you leave the country or apply for a permit, everyone's ID card must be shown. International students need to prepare their passports and visas first. These things need to be carried with you until everyone has a residence permit.
In addition, you need to prepare the originals of all kinds of materials submitted when applying for Dutch universities. These things need to be shown when you apply for admission, but they will be returned to the students after inspection and confirmation.
2. clothes
When freshmen go abroad to prepare clothes, they are likely to fall into the misunderstanding of preparing more clothes and bringing more clothes, so they don't have to buy them in Holland, but in fact, they will still be unable to control their desire to buy them when they arrive.
Besides, fast fashion brands that are common in China will be cheaper in the Netherlands, and there will often be discounts. You don't need to bring too many things from China. I suggest you prepare two or three sets, and then bring more underwear.
3. Electronic products
In terms of electrical appliances, most things in the Netherlands are more expensive than those in China, especially low-tech chargers, data cables and mobile hard disks. They are small, so you can take more from China just in case.
Be sure to bring your mobile phone and computer. Your own system will be more convenient to use. Of course, don't forget to bring an adapter and a multi-hole socket. With them, you can use electrical appliances that you have never brought before.
4. necessities of life
Including bedding, the three-piece suit can have no space, and the quilt can be bought after it arrives; For toiletries, you can prepare light clothes; Students who wear glasses must prepare more spare skin. Optometry glasses are very expensive in Holland.
Finally, the preparation of drugs, ordinary students need to bring gastrointestinal drugs and cold medicines; If you need to take medicine for a long time, you need to prepare a kitchen opened by a doctor, and the weight should not exceed half a year at the longest.
10. Share the experience of studying in the Netherlands
First of all, eating habits
When you arrive in Holland, the first thing you should do may be to have a good meal. The food here belongs to European cuisine. You see more bread, sandwiches, pizza, steak, salad, seafood and so on. , is relatively novel.
Most of the ingredients here are not common in China, but it is relatively easy for you to try to make them yourself. China restaurants are also common here. You can go to restaurants to experience authentic Chinese food and even eat hot pot, which will be more expensive than in China.
Second, accommodation choice.
In general, students will give priority to dormitories and apartments provided by the school. Although they need to share some space with others, the cost will be much cheaper and the cost performance is still high. However, they need to book a room before they have a chance to check in. Everyone should be prepared to get along with roommates in advance.
If you don't want to live on campus, you can rent your own house. In fact, many foreign students will move out to live with friends later, get along more harmoniously, share the expenses equally and have a more comfortable accommodation environment.
Third, special food.
After arriving in the Netherlands, you can not only see more popular western food, including salad, bread, pasta, steak, hamburger, fried fish, French fries, coffee and so on. And there are many special foods from other countries. The price is reasonable, not expensive.
The specialty here is frying. In the eyes of the Dutch, almost all ingredients can be fried to show their delicacy, and the common ones are meatballs, French fries and various meats. In addition, there are herring, where a large-scale food festival will be held.
Fourth, daily travel.
The most prominent feature is bicycles everywhere. The number of bicycles in the Netherlands can be said to be shocking, almost the proportion of one person, because the cities here are relatively accurate. If you are not in a hurry when traveling, you will have time to ride bicycles.
For long-distance travel, you can choose bus, subway, train and plane at one time according to the distance. The common advantage is that international students can enjoy a certain discount by virtue of their student identification.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) daily shopping
There are large, medium and small shopping places here. Large and medium-sized shopping places generally have larger scale, more complete products and longer shopping time, but there will be more discount activities here, which is suitable for large-scale purchase.
On the other hand, small convenience stores will have more branches all over the streets, which are easy to find. There will be fewer kinds of goods in the store, but shopping will be faster and time-saving, which is also a good choice.
An intransitive verb tourist attraction
Cultural landscape is a variety of historical sites, ancient buildings, museums and other places, which are relatively well preserved. Everyone can feel a strong cultural and artistic atmosphere. Many universities here used to be palaces or manors.
Nature endows it with enough sunshine, beaches, mountains and forest flowers. Rich in resources all year round. No matter when you go to Holland, you won't be bored. Beautiful scenery can relax you.
