5. Academic culture – What does education look like in the Netherlands?

You've settled in, survived your first week – and then you walk into your first lecture and realise: this feels different. Professors go by their first name, students challenge what's being said in class, and a 7 is considered a perfectly good grade. Welcome to Dutch academic culture.

 

In this episode, student Marie from Germany and associate professor Sissi de Beer talk about how education is structured at Dutch universities and what makes it different from systems in other countries.
