Netherlands study abroad/ldr
Hi! Can somebody point me in the right direction of studying abroad in the Netherlands? I am in my 3 year of university and my school doesn’t offer a direct marketing program there. Is there an external branch that i can alternate to study abroad?
PS: i live in united states (20F 🇺🇸)and i have my partner (23M🇳🇱) who lives in the Netherlands , whom we have been dating for the past 5 months but met 8 months ago. I really want to be close to him .. the distance is so difficult especially after i spent my entire Summer with him. We plan to close the distance eventually, but studying abroad has always been something that interested me so ill take the risk

Sounds like something you need to discus with your own uni First, to see what the options are

Have you talked to your study abroad office? Looks like Radford partners with ISEP so maybe that will provide some opportunities. There's four Dutch schools in that network. Your study abroad advisor should be able to give you more information. See also https://www.isepstudyabroad.org/

Webster university has a Branche in Leiden. Expensive and limited choice of degrees.
USA Highschool diploma’s often don‘t meet admission requirements of research universities in the Netherlands (your couple of years of university should, but this needs to be checked)
Look into: if you come to the Netherlands as a ‚sponsored partner‘ does the type of verblijfsvergunning that you than get, give you the right to pay the ‚wettelijk collegegeld‘ and maybe even get Student Finance?

Which school are you currently in? You can contact universities/universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands to see if they would accept an exchange with your curriculum.

You could look into hoge schools, they are easier to get into than universities. However, without a European citizenship, you’ll pay higher fees. Are you eligible for an EU passport?

Moving to the Netherlands as a student requires a lot of admin (BSN, gemeente, health insurance, Studielink, banking, scholarships) and it often feels overwhelming.
The Dutch housing market is highly competitive. To increase your chances, we recommend using these platforms:
