Nursery school and day care facilitiesCrèches, host families, nursery schools and day-care outside of school: there are several possibilities for children from the age of six weeks up to twelve years when it comes to child minding. They are either commercial or part of a subsidised government program in relation to your work situation. |

Primary educationCompulsory education in the Netherlands starts at the age of five and continues until the child has reached the age of sixteen. From this age on the pupil must attend some form of education for at least two days a week until the eighteenth birthday. Normally, most children attend school from the age of four and most schools accept children from this age group. One can find a primary school in the Netherlands every six square kilometres. |

Higher educationUniversities of applied sciences in the Netherlands are primarily responsible for offering programmes of higher professional education, which prepare students for particular professions. They tend to be more practically oriented than programmes offered by research universities. These institutions offer education in the English language, both on Bachelor and Master level. |

Practical mattersStudying is more than just opening and reading books, especially when you are going to study in a country that you are not familiar with. How do I find a room in Arnhem, Velp or Nijmegen? Which official matters am I getting involved in? And not the least important – where do I find that dazzling student scene? Because there is also life next to your study! |
