1. Choose a school from a major.
Although there are many colleges to choose from, each college offers different courses. Up to now, most courses in Dutch universities are still taught in Dutch, so English teaching in each school is often the authoritative subject of the school. Therefore, according to our established professional direction, we should choose the schools that provide the majors we need from many schools.
2. Make a comprehensive comparison and finalize the school.
For the choice of different schools, we should focus on the following points:
(1) Browse the webpage to confirm the academic points.
Different schools have different degrees of research in the same field. Some majors are the school's signboard, while some schools only offer a certain major to meet the most basic requirements of qualified comprehensive universities. Therefore, by browsing the school's original website, we can learn about the courses offered by the school, the internship time and whether we can go to the United States and Canada for exchange study, so as to make further choices.
(2) Schools at the same level can choose from their cities.
If you choose (1), there are still two possible choices, so it depends on your interest in the city where your school is located. On the one hand, the so-called interest refers to your love for the cultural characteristics of this city, on the other hand, you should consider whether there are job opportunities in this city according to your own economic conditions. As the Netherlands is a typical European country, the prosperity of big cities and small and medium-sized cities is quite different. The four major cities in the Netherlands are Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. For students who have studied in the Netherlands for 3-4 years, they must choose institutions located in big cities, otherwise they will be very passive.
3. For majors
There are many China students who study abroad blindly. In the past five years, we found that among the more than 65,438+0,500 students we sent, a large number of students proposed to change their majors after arriving in the Netherlands, especially after the first year of study. For students, it means that this year's time and expenses are wasted and the loss is very large. Therefore, it is very important to choose a major before going abroad, which should be said to be the most important point of studying abroad. It is suggested to start with the following points:
(1) From the perspective of future employment
After studying, you will face employment, which is the most difficult problem for every student after graduation. Then one of the factors that affect employment is major, so you can choose your major correctly by rationally expecting the job market. Sometimes everything should be based on reality.
② Personality
Some majors have certain requirements for personality, and it is also important to choose a major according to your own personality. For example, some majors attach great importance to communication. If you are a very introverted person, don't choose this major.
③ hobbies
Choosing a major from the perspective of personal hobbies accounts for a large proportion of international students studying abroad. For example, some students are very sensitive to numbers and have a good foundation in mathematics, so they will choose statistics as their major; Some students like to work hard in the market and have certain planning ability, so they will choose the major of marketing.
④ the vitality of the industry.
Some professional industries are sunset industries and cannot be selected; Only after graduation, this industry is a sunrise industry and will develop in the future.
