The decision to move and study abroad is a serious step and a great opportunity for a future successful career of an applicant. Especially if he chooses history as his field of study.

Studying history in the Netherlands is a great chance to get acquainted with the education system of another country, gain theoretical and practical knowledge within the framework of academic disciplines, exchange experience with students from other countries and with teachers. The Netherlands has a well-developed scientific community, which, among other things, is actively developing the historical direction. Additional advantages are the rapid acquisition of the language among its native speakers and the expansion of employment opportunities, since an international diploma tells employers that the applicant is ready to overcome difficulties and is always open to new knowledge.

Advantages of studying history in the Netherlands for international students

  • The opportunity to study in a European country in English. History is an understandable yet vast subject, so studying it even in one's native language is not always easy or straightforward. The Dutch language is rarely studied in other countries; however, the country is in demand among international students precisely due to the availability of English-language educational programs.
  • High quality education at an affordable price. Foreign students come to Europe primarily for the high quality of education, but in most European countries, university tuition is expensive by the standards of both locals and foreigners. In the Netherlands, the costs of tuition, housing, and living are significantly lower than in most other European countries: the average cost is around €2,000 for EU residents and less than €8,000 for residents of other countries.
  • Interactive learning format. Teachers at Dutch history schools for international students do not follow the teaching system that Russian students are accustomed to, where theoretical lectures form the basis. In the Netherlands, history faculty teachers use interactive methods: discussions, project work, analysis of academic materials, museum excursions, and the study of historical artifacts.
