The Netherlands is a popular study destination for Spanish and other international students. In 2021, one in four university and university of applied sciences (HBO) students came from abroad – mainly from other European countries. This is thanks to the high quality of education and the international environment. Most Dutch people speak English well, making it easy to communicate and settle in.
