Dutch universities don’t select for entry, based on Leaving Cert points. In the Netherlands, you have a right to an education if you have the minimum entry requirements (EITHER 6 passes at LC, inc 2 x H4 OR a relevant QQI Level 5).

Even for those with a selection procedure, grades are rarely a selection criteria. There is even an entry route for students, over 21, who don’t have formal entry requirements. Tuition Fees which, at EUR2083, are already very low, can be recouped by way of an interest-free loan from the Dutch government. 15 years to repay, after you graduate. Not only can students take their SUSI Grant with them but there is further financial support from the Dutch government, though support towards Living Expenses. Comments are closed.
