Don’t come unless you have a place to live, universities warn international students

Dutch News  

Several Dutch universities are warning international students not to come to the Netherlands unless they have organised somewhere to live before they arrive, the Volkskrant reported on Wednesday. Reduce numbers The Dutch universities association has campaigned since 2018 for new rules which they say would allow them to manage the flow of international students and the impact on course quality. ‘International talent is essential’ for both research and industry but the increase in the number of foreign students is currently too great to maintain the high quality of courses and is putting too much pressure on staff, chairman Pieter Duisenberg said earlier this year. The organisation suggests three measures to reduce the flow of international students: introducing a limit on student numbers in English language courses, limiting the number of non-EU students per course and an emergency brake so that numbers can be capped if applications rise too hard and threaten course quality.
