Dutch language requirements for studying in the Netherlands depend on the program and institution. Many universities offer English-taught programs, which typically require proof of English proficiency (e.g., IELTS or TOEFL) rather than Dutch.
For Dutch-taught programs, non-native speakers must demonstrate proficiency through exams like NT2 or equivalent certifications. Some universities may offer preparatory language courses. EU/EEA students might face fewer requirements compared to non-EU students. Always check the specific program’s language criteria on the university’s website or contact admissions offices for clarity.
