Institute of Social Studies

1. 1

   The short answer

   The Institute of Social Studies is a public university in the Netherlands. It suits students who want a bachelor’s study option and are comparing a small programme catalogue rather than a broad full-university offer.

2. 2

   The institution offers 23 programmes at bachelor's degree level. Example subject areas include Accounting and Finance, Actuarial Science, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Medical Sciences, American Studies, Biochemistry and Medical Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Business Management, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Creative Writing, and Criminology.

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the programme-specific entry requirements before submitting anything. The website should also be checked for required documents, deadlines, and whether your qualifications are accepted for the bachelor's programme you want.

4. 4

   What it costs

   Tuition is charged in EUR, but the university does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in the Netherlands depend on city and housing choice, so plan for accommodation, food, transport, and insurance separately.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not published, so confirm it on the official site before applying. Also check visa needs, tuition payment timing, document translation requirements, and whether your previous school results qualify you for the programme you want.

   How it compares

   There are 49 universities in the Netherlands, so this institution sits in a fairly crowded national market. With 23 bachelor's programmes, it looks more limited than many full universities, which can suit students who want a narrower set of study options and a public institution rather than a very large catalogue.
