Research Universities
Mar 23, 2011
There are 18 government-approved research universities in the Netherlands, three of which specialize in engineering. These institutions essentially train students in academic study and the application of knowledge, although many study programmes do also have a professional component and most graduates actually find work outside the research community.
The research universities vary in size, with enrolments ranging from 6,000 to 30,000. Altogether they enrol some 205,000 students.
