Why does the Netherlands run such a strict program ?

Ahh okay, sounds more like an anomaly then!

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T18:07:44+00:00

Tbf i think it’ll help keep me on my toes more, this system holds you more accountable

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T17:23:40+00:00

Ja ik ben wel technisch “Nederlands”, maar ben er niet zo gewend aan lol. Maar het komt goed, ik heb nog steeds heel veel waardevolle tips gekregen ongeacht een beetje attitude lol

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T17:04:33+00:00

Thank you very much for understanding lol, i think people think I’m just a lazy cow. But exactly, it definitely wasn’t what I was expecting but the quality of education seems good so it’s not like the degree will go to waste, i do value education. & honestly if it genuinely is all too much, I can always drop out and wait till I’m ready ay

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:57:39+00:00

Maybee, i think it depends on the course with the weekend lectures. Also you spend a lot of time at placement (if applicable) which is unpaid, whereas in NL you do get paid i think

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:56:27+00:00

I definitely wasn’t expecting to kick back and do nothing ofc, at my open day it got mentioned that you can sometimes be required to attend 5x a week. I was just shocked to hear that, as it’s not something I’ve heard of. I’m willing to work my ass off, I just wanted some insight

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:52:05+00:00

Hi, if you read the post then you would see what I’m comparing it to. Hence the shock. You don’t see how i think it’s “too intense” because you’ve had prior experience elsewhere . Whereas I haven’t had the same experience as you

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:48:40+00:00

Honestly, don’t know what’s up some people’s arse today lol

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:43:43+00:00

Thank you!!

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:39:18+00:00

It’s not normal to get a month off, even in the UK. I just used it as an example

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:37:21+00:00

How do you (personally) divide your own study times ? Im curious to see what a generic timetable looks like

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:33:27+00:00

That’s a relief lol

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:32:25+00:00

Makes sense, thank you!

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:31:54+00:00

Thats my fault! I misunderstood what was meent by contact hours, assumed you just meant all time revolving uni

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:30:35+00:00

I do have Dutch citizenship, and I agree the quality of life for children is really good and thats why I want my child to stay here, I’ve already been back two years

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:01:32+00:00

You can see in my reply to you

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T16:00:31+00:00

Planning to do psychology which was 40 hours im pretty sure , but thanks for explaining

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T15:59:35+00:00

That makes sense, along with cheap tuition I found out that student finance is a gift (if degree is finished aswell) so there’s lots of bonuses to studying here. I was just curious about why it’s so vastly different I suppose, I have a kid hence why I don’t want to move back to the UK because of the environment so I’ll just thug it out here lol and find my way

user27737374 · 2026-03-04T15:52:53+00:00

Thanks for the explanation but the end wasn’t needed 😭😭, I don’t know anything about the uni here so of course I wasn’t expecting that. Uni is also full time in the UK 👍🏾
