Internationalization in higher education in the Netherlands key figures 2009 1 Introduction Nuffic is the Netherlands organization for international cooperation in higher education. We support the internationalization of Dutch higher education and scientific research and help improve access to higher education worldwide. This also involves the publication of studies and figures about the internationalization of Dutch higher education, to provide visibility into trends and developments in mobility. Key Figures 2009 provides a quick overview of internationalization in higher education in the Netherlands. A distinction is made between diploma mobility, where the student aims to complete an academic programme and gain a diploma or a degree abroad, and credit mobility, where the student enriches his study ‘at home’ with a study component or a placement abroad. An indication is given of foreign students in the Netherlands, where they come from and in which study phase they attend courses. Also the ten most popular Dutch universities are listed, in terms of absolute numbers of foreign students and in terms of the foreign student population as a percentage of the total student population of the university. Furthermore, the number of Dutch students abroad is given, as well as the countries where most of them register. Finally, information is provided on percentages of graduates who went abroad during the course of their study, and on universities with high scores on outward credit mobility. It is well known that Dutch society is very internationally oriented. Dutch universities who rank in the top ten in terms of percentages of foreign students out of their total student population and in terms of percentages of students gaining credits abroad during their study, can be considered to be even more internationally minded. For more detailed information on the internationalization of Dutch education, please see the annual Internationalization Monitor of Education in the Netherlands 2008, which can be downloaded or ordered in print via www.nuffic.nl/mobility. 1 General Higher education in the Netherlands NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THE NETHERLANDS (2008-09) 219,018 382,878 601,896 at 13 research universities at 41 universities of applied sciences total = 10,000 students ENGLISH -TAUGHT PROGRAMMES 1,040 415 1,455 degree programmes non-degree total programmes = 50 English-taught programmes Mobility trends DIPLOMA MOBILITY * CREDIT MOBILITY ** Inbound: up Inbound: no data Outbound: up Outbound: slightly up * Diploma mobility: to complete a study programme abroad. ** Credit mobility: to gain credits abroad for the study at home. 2 3 Foreign students in the Netherlands (academic year 2008-09) Number of foreign students Diploma mobility Credit mobility 76,000 total 33,000* 17,850 7,250 17,900 EU+EFTA non-EU+EFTA exchange other credit mobile students enrolled students enrolled students students** = 1,500 students FIGURES SHOWN ARE ROUNDED 44,800 in publicly funded higher education 6,050 in privately funded higher education * Including an estimated 2,600 students in privately funded higher education. ** Country of origin unknown. 2 3 Countries and continents of origin (diploma and credit mobility) FOREIGN STUDENTS IN THE NETHERLANDS * Germany 19,750 China 5,000 Belgium 2,500 Spain 1,950 France 1,650 Indonesia 1,350 Italy 1,350 Vietnam 450 Colombia 200 US 1,300 Czech Republic 400 Australia 200 Poland 1,300 Iran 350 Cameroon 200 UK 1,150 Pakistan 350 Latvia 200 Turkey 1,100 Taiwan 300 Slovakia 150 Bulgaria 1,050 Canada 300 Ghana 150 Greece 850 Ethiopia 300 Tanzania 150 Surinam 600 Mexico 300 Saudi Arabia 150 Rumania 550 Japan 300 Switzerland 150 India 550 Thailand 250 Kenya 150 Finland 550 Brazil 250 Slovenia 150 Portugal 500 Denmark 250 Uganda 150 Austria 450 Nepal 250 Israel 150 Russia 450 Nigeria 250 Philippines 100 Sweden 450 Lithuania 200 Singapore 100 Norway 450 Ireland 200 Zimbabwe 100 Hungary 450 Morocco 200 South Africa 100 South Korea 450 Ukraine 200 Source: CFI, IND, Nuffic * Above 100, rounded at 50’s. 4 5 = 100 students 38,000 1,600 11,750 2,700 1,200 200 Total number of foreign students in the Netherlands: 76,000** ** 55,450 as indicated on the map plus roughly 2,600 from unspecified EU and EFTA countries and 17,950 students of unknown origin. 4 5 Diploma mobility Compared to other countries PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL NUMBER OF ENROLLED STUDENTS STUDENTS ENROLLED , WITH A FOREIGN ACADEMIC YEAR 2006-07 NATIONALITY General trend Netherlands* 590,121 6.4% FOREIGN STUDENTS IN PUBLICLY FUNDED DUTCH HIGHER EDUCATION Belgium 393,687 10.5% 44,781 40,779 Germany 2,278,897 11.3% 36,693 34,090 28,194 Denmark 232,194 9.0% Finland 309,163 3.3% 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Source: CFI Sweden 413,710 10.3% Source: OECD * Foreign students in publicly funded higher education. 6 7 TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS ENROLLED , PERCENTAGE OF ENROLLED STUDENTS ACADEMIC YEAR 2006-07 WITH A FOREIGN NATIONALITY 8.0% Total of 21 EU countries 17,338,626 3.4% US 17,758,870 3.1% Japan 4,032,625 Source: OECD 6 7 Degree cycle of enrolled foreign students FOREIGN STUDENTS IN PUBLICLY FUNDED EDUCATION , PER PHASE IN 2008-09 post-master’s trad. bachelor’s master’s 1% master’s 22% bachelor’s 77% 2008-09 bachelor’s 34,482 master’s 9,974 trad. bachelor’s master’s 267 post-master’s 58 Total 44,781 Source: CFI 8 9 FOREIGN STUDENTS AT DUTCH HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS PER PHASE IN 2008-09 At universities of applied sciences At research universities 44% 56% 53% 47% 96% 4% bachelor’s cycle master’s cycle bachelor’s cycle master’s cycle Source: CFI = 10% Popular subject areas of enrolled foreign students At research universities At universities of applied sciences 1.
