Study in Holland

By Kiri Scully

If the tulips and windmills weren't enough to convince you, maybe this guy's 100-second pitch will. 

Though technically "Holland" excludes other parts of the Netherlands that have plenty of universities, Holland has long been a catchier name for the lowlands. Study in Holland was an initiative set up by Nuffic, a Dutch organisation aiming for internationalisation of education in the Netherlands. 

There are many benefits to studying here, and if you hurry, you may even be eligible for the Holland Scholarship. Deadline May 1, 2017.
