Research universities

Mar 18, 2011

There are eighteen government-funded research universities in Holland, three of which specialize in engineering, one in agriculture, and one is an Open University.

These institutions essentially train students in academic study and research. However, many study programmes also have a professional component and most graduates actually find work outside the research community.

The universities vary in size, with enrollments ranging from 6,000 to 30,000 students. Altogether they enroll some 205,000 students.
