Plenty of funding and scholarship opportunities
The Dutch government actively encourages international exchanges and studies abroad. Various  state funded programs make it financially feasible for students to have an international experience. Students who are entitled to student grants and loans in the Netherlands are entitled to use them anywhere in the world. In addition to student grants and loans, students can also obtain an (EU )scholarship for a study program abroad.

State of the art visitor registration

Upon entering the exhibition ground they will receive a  personalized badge enabling exhibitors to scan the details of relevant visitors by means of a scan app. The data collected from the scanned visitors will be directly visible for you. This makes following up on leads very easy.

Ideal location
The Jaarbeurs in Utrecht is the most favorable exhibition ground in the Netherlands. Utrecht is located in the center of Holland and the fair ground is a 5 minute walk away from the train station. The fair provides a grand exhibitor floor as well as spacey lecture halls. All facilities have been designed with personal and safe engagement in mind. 

Student recruitment in the Netherlands

The Dutch education system is amongst the best performing in the world. The Netherlands consistently ranks in the top 10 in the PISA ranking. And all of the 13 Dutch research universities are ranked in the top 200 of the major international university rankings (Times Higher Education and Shanghai Jiaotong). No other country can match this. 

Dutch students have a good command of English. English is being taught from primary school onwards. Many bachelor and most master studies are taught in English. This is no surprise since Holland has had an international outlook for centuries, being the trading nation that it is.

This is reflected in the percentage of Dutch students that have an international study experience during their studies. Currently this figure stands at 24%. More than 20,000 Dutch students are studying for a degree program abroad (source: Unesco).
