2. Problems that should be paid attention to when studying in the Netherlands

I. Etiquette

It is very common to say hello when studying in the Netherlands. On formal occasions, the way to say hello is to shake hands; With acquaintances, it is usually a kiss on the cheek; It is also necessary to greet strangers. If you make eye contact, you usually smile. If you don't say hello, it is considered rude. On some occasions, you need to introduce yourself. Don't wait for someone to introduce you. You need to take the initiative to do things or have needs.

Second, in life.

The weather in Holland is very mild. The temperature is about 20 degrees in summer, which is very comfortable, but it often rains. If you go to study abroad, you can take some coats, short sleeves, long sleeves and waterproof coats. Winter is not very cold, the temperature is about 2 degrees Celsius, and sometimes there will be strong winds, so you need to prepare two windbreakers and coats with good windproof performance, which are generally not too thick. Dutch people don't pay much attention to clothes, and they wear casual clothes at other times except formal occasions and working hours.

The eating habits of the Netherlands are similar to those of other European countries, mainly pasta. Although the Dutch economy is high, the Dutch are generally diligent and oppose extravagance and waste. Dutchman's work and rest time: Breakfast is usually from 7: 00 to 9: 00 in the morning, with bread and milk for breakfast. In China, many people eat like this. Drinking coffee is about ten to eleven in the morning; From noon 12 to noon 1 30, it's lunch, and lunch has one more soup than breakfast, which is very different from China. If you are not full, it is recommended to cook for yourself, and the supermarket will have ingredients; Drinking afternoon tea at three or four in the afternoon is also the habit of many people in China; Dinner time is from 5: 30 to 7: 00 in the evening. This is the main meal, including meat, vegetables and fruits.

If international students live off campus in the Netherlands, it is recommended that they share the room, and the room rate for sharing is generally cheaper than that for a single person.

The Netherlands is small in size, but the transportation is generally complete, but cycling in the Netherlands is a common phenomenon and convenient.

Third, security issues.

Studying in the Netherlands, safety is the top priority, which is also the most worrying issue for many parents. Although the law and order in the Netherlands is good, try not to stay outside late at night, especially in remote places, which is unsafe.

3. How to avoid visa refusal when studying in the Netherlands?

First, the common reasons for refusing visas for studying in the Netherlands

1. The applicant's parents' work certificates do not provide specific contact information, so it is impossible to verify their authenticity;

2. The applicant's necessary contact information (address and telephone number) is not provided;

3. Only provide copies of Chinese materials. In principle, all original materials are required to be returned in full after review. In addition, it is not allowed to apply for a school with a tourist visa.

4. All materials have no English translation;

5. Only provide recent large deposit certificates;

6. There is no detailed information about the source of funds;

Second, how to deal with the refusal of a study visa in the Netherlands?

First of all, we must ensure the integrity of the materials, and make up the materials if they are missing.

If a series of procedures, such as the preparation of the previous materials, are carried out perfectly, and the reasons for refusing the visa give some unnecessary things, then you can appeal completely, and there are various ways to appeal.

Generally speaking, the most common way for applicants is to appeal by mail. The Dutch consulate handles this kind of appeal mail very quickly, so applicants don't have to worry about not being able to appeal.

If the appeal fails, the applicant does not need to worry about how to refuse a Dutch visa, because the visa policy does not stipulate that the applicant has no right to apply for a Dutch visa again after being rejected.

4. List of approximate expenses for studying in Dutch universities

First of all, about tuition.

Undergraduate course: generally 3-4 years, the tuition fee is 6000- 15000 euros/academic year.

Master's degree: general 1-2 years, tuition fee of 8,000-20,000 euros/academic year.

Second, the tax refund:

Compared with Britain and the United States, although the tuition fee in the Netherlands is not high, the tuition fee for international students is still ten times that of local students. The key reason is that local students enjoy national welfare and do not have to pay high taxes. As international students, our tuition includes about 30% tax!

The good news is that this tax can be refunded under certain conditions. Li Holland's overseas study teacher told us by experience that as long as you stay in the Netherlands (including internship/part-time job) after graduation, you can refund the one-time tuition paid by taxpayers from March to May every year.

Let me give a simple and rude example. If you studied for a master's degree in 1 year and paid a tuition fee of 20,000 euros (10.5 million RMB), the tax you can finally return is about 45,000 RMB.

In this way, the attraction of staying in Holland after graduation will increase!

Note: The Dutch government supports international students to stay in the Netherlands after graduation and provides a 1 year job visa.

Three. About living expenses

Housing cost: 300-600 euros/room/month.

Expenditure on catering insurance: 250-350 Euro/month.

Other flexible expenses (books, transportation, travel): 150-250 euros/month.

Note: The most expensive thing to live in the Netherlands is renting a house. Some schools provide dormitories. Contrary to the domestic situation, in the Netherlands, most school dormitories are more expensive than students renting their own houses.

Fourth, about visa fees.

Visa deposit: generally 1 10,000 euros.

This part of the money is used by immigrants to ensure that you have the ability to pay all the expenses of living in the Netherlands in the future. Call the school, wait for the students to arrive in the Netherlands, open the local bank card in the Netherlands, and then transfer it back to the students.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) about part-time/internship

Work/internship policy: The Netherlands allows foreign students to take part-time jobs in their spare time, and they need to apply for a work permit, and the working hours per week should not exceed 10 hour or choose to work full-time in July/August/September in summer.

Part-time/internship salary: average 10 Euro/hour.

Note: For students who are studying for a master's degree (especially the master of 1), it is not recommended to work while reading. First of all, the government's restrictions on working hours will not lead to high wages. Secondly, the learning rhythm of Dutch masters is very tense, and group discussions and endless papers and experiments will come to you. Don't lose too much because you are small.

5. What major can I choose to study in the Netherlands?

First, business.

The most popular business subject in the world is also very dazzling in the Netherlands, which is very popular among international students. On the one hand, the economic strength here is very strong, and everyone can get in touch with the first-class background and environment during their study and internship, so they can naturally improve their skills.

And there are many branches to choose from, so when choosing a major, we need to pay special attention to personal ability and matching branches, so as to better adapt to the arrangement of courses and achieve our goals.

Second, engineering.

Mainly because of the advantages of engineering, as a series of hard-core subjects, what you study here basically needs a certain foundation to keep up with the progress of teaching, and you will also arrange interdisciplinary study, which poses new challenges for you.

But it is also very advantageous, because you can gain the basic theoretical knowledge of the two majors and bring more practical skills in the combination. Everyone can get more suitable job choices in the future. It's very hot.

Third, the law

Used in teaching in China, the legal system is continental law, which is in the same strain as domestic law. So the theory you have learned here can also be used directly after returning to China, and everyone will be more practical.

Fourth, agronomy.

This is a characteristic subject in Holland. As a big agricultural country, the related disciplines here have developed very rapidly and the degree of modernization is also very high. They learn the theory and skills supported by high technology, which is very practical.

With the development of technology, we will pay more attention to the influence of genetic engineering and transformation prevention and control. The research and development of these new technologies can greatly improve productivity and liberate the manual labor force, and students' accumulated skills will have an advantage in future job hunting.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) logistics

The geographical location with natural advantages has brought a good environment for the development of logistics here. Whether by land, air or sea, the radiation area is very wide. The market demand makes the professional curriculum arrangement more reasonable and can improve its adaptability.

6. What to bring to study in the Netherlands

I. Clothing category

Like Britain, the weather in Holland changes greatly in one day. Everyone takes an umbrella and coat when they go out, in case of cooling or rain. Winter here is also very long, so you need to bring warm clothes.

I brought it from China, mainly clothes, two or three sets of uniforms in the season. What needs to be prepared is to deal with the symptoms and dress in formal occasions. These clothes need to fit well and can be taken abroad after being customized from China.

Second, food.

For domestic students with heavy and complicated tastes, in the food-poor Netherlands, most of the time, everyone can only eat western food, and the variety is still very monotonous. In order to meet their own needs, it is very important to do it yourself.

For students with average cooking skills, as long as there are suitable condiments, they can make authentic Chinese food. What they need to bring are mainly hot pot bottom materials and various condiments. If the luggage is enough, they can consider bringing a small rice cooker.

Third, funds.

Cash can be directly prepared in euros, and only a certain amount of change is needed to meet the needs after arrival. If you have a lot of money to carry, it is recommended to change it into a money order or bring a bank card to better ensure safety.

Besides, don't forget your identification. Passport visa is a proof of entry and exit, and offer payment certificate is a proof of admission. Everyone needs to bring the original materials submitted and may need to show them.

Fourth, daily classes

Computers, mobile phones and other electronic products are all brought from China and do not need additional adaptation. Just remember to apply for a phone card and broadband when you arrive, and don't forget the adapter. In order to ensure normal use, you can prepare more.

Nursing supplies, we carry according to our own needs, many things can be easily obtained in the Netherlands, so there is no need to buy and carry them; Remember to prepare bedding, so that you can arrange your accommodation and move in directly.

7. Four common misunderstandings in choosing to study in the Netherlands

First, the qualification limit is high

When it comes to studying abroad, you may think of high school projects, which are either gold-plated choices for the rich or promotion choices for students with excellent grades. In most cases, it will be the second, but in fact, the qualifications of high school students are relatively wide.

You only need to complete the basic courses, and then you can apply for studying abroad, and there will only be restrictions on the applicable stage. You may not be able to enter the stage you want to study, but you need to be demoted or accept the preparatory course, and junior college students can also apply boldly.

Second, there is no language class.

Although English is used for teaching in the Netherlands, not all students can pass the English exam before entering school. Only students whose language is not up to standard can directly report to the language class of the school, which has a wide range of settings.

At present, most universities in the Netherlands have short-term language training courses. Students can improve their language as a whole in order to study professionally and simply. After thinking that you can meet the standard, you can apply for the exam and start formal study directly.

Third, there is no preparatory course for master's degree.

Master's study, like undergraduate study, will also set up a transitional stage of preparatory course before formal admission. You are free to apply, and you can apply directly if your ability is insufficient. This will be a very important content to ensure that they meet the requirements.

Preparatory courses are generally open to students who are interested in enrolling, so tuition fees will be very cheap, just like European students. The school will provide students with corresponding professional basic courses, so it will be easier for everyone to lay the foundation and the pressure will not be great.

Fourth, you can't change your major.

It is feasible to change majors in Holland. Although the threshold will be higher, if you want to change it, you just need to prepare the materials. If you confirm that there are enough places in your major, you can enter the school directly to ensure your qualifications and enter your favorite major.

Preparation, including course certificates and documentary materials, should reflect their professional advantages, at least after entering school, they can keep up with formal teaching and show their career plans through documents.

8. Pay attention to the details of studying in the Netherlands.

1, prepare the key to open the door before going home. Don't stand at the door and remember to look for the key.

2. Drive a friend home, wait for a friend to enter the house, light a cigarette and leave.

Be sure to lock the door when driving. After stopping and turning off the lights, stay in the car and observe for a while before driving out. Take valuables with you, not put them in the car.

4. Open more than two bank accounts, and usually only bring pocket money (just enough to go out) ATM cards. If an accident happens unfortunately, minimize the loss as much as possible.

5. When entering and leaving the elevator, pay attention to whether the passengers are evil or not, and don't press the floor. Try standing next to the control button. Once attacked, press the button on each floor immediately. At this time, the elevator will stop at each floor, and you can quickly leave the elevator for help.

6. If you share a room with someone, you must make three rules, and you are not allowed to give the keys to other friends at will to avoid complicated access.

7. Once you find that you are being followed, you can kick or pat the roadside parking with your purse, triggering an alarm and attracting others' attention. Or call a close friend, tell him where he is, and try to keep his distance.

8. If you are single, drink in a public place, and don't drink until you have finished using the toilet or making a phone call after you leave.

9. If you come home late, you should take the brightly lit street, or go in the opposite direction, so as to master the road conditions.

9. Ways to save money by studying in the Netherlands

First, apply for housing compensation.

Housing subsidy is a welfare policy implemented by the Dutch government. For all residents who work, live and study in the Netherlands, as long as they can produce materials that meet the requirements, they can get certain subsidies according to the size of the rented house.

Because students have no income, even if they have a part-time job, the total salary will not be very high, and they can generally enjoy subsidies. Therefore, international students who rent their own apartments must not forget to apply for housing subsidies.

Second, planned expenditure

Everyone should be aware of every expenditure, especially large expenditures. Of course, small expenditures also need attention. After all, every little makes a mickle. You can make a shopping list before you buy something.

In this way, the goal will be more clear when shopping, which can not only save time, but also avoid buying unnecessary things by yourself, and remember to keep accounts. Although the money has been spent, everyone should know where it has gone.

Third, take advantage of discounts.

Everyone's student status can bring you many benefits in life, such as going to electricity to buy tickets, traveling to scenic spots, staying in hotels and buying train tickets. As long as you show your student ID card, you can enjoy the discount.

Some large shopping malls will have exclusive discounts on credit card settlement, and together with promotional activities, everyone can enjoy great discounts, but they need to know in advance.

Fourth, buy insurance.

If you get sick in the Netherlands, whether you buy medicine, see a doctor or stay in hospital, the price is very expensive, because all kinds of services need to be charged, and the price will be clearly marked, and because a lot of manpower is used, the cost will be higher.

If you buy insurance for basic and necessary items when you enter school, you can save at least 70% of the expenses, because the Netherlands has a very perfect medical system and the benefits given are very high. The purchasing qualifications of international students are the same as those of locals.

10. Share the experience of studying in the Netherlands

First, study.

There are a large number of universities in the Netherlands and their strength is very good. The school is semi-open, and everyone can come in and out freely through inspection. Most of the communication here is in English, so don't worry about the situation that the remittance bank can't understand. Internationalization is a major feature of campus and classroom. Basically, every major in every university is not composed of students of a single nationality. Students from different countries study in the same place, which has a very positive impact.

Second, accommodation.

Basically, schools in the Netherlands do not provide dormitories, and accommodation needs to be arranged before going abroad. If you are not sure about your home, you can go to a serviced apartment in short rent first. Although the price is expensive, you have enough time to see the house. Sharing is a common way. You can publish rental information in the school, and determine the number of people before renting. The monthly rent is about 500 euros. If you don't want to drink in a stranger's place, you can also rent a studio. The single apartment is fully equipped and safe.

Third, traffic.

China's transportation network is convenient and developed. Trains have formed a subway network connecting different cities in China, and different cities have convenient subways. Besides buses and taxis, there are trams as a supplement, which is very convenient. Moreover, there is a special traffic APP that broadcasts the arrival time and route of the direct train in real time, which is convenient for everyone to arrange the time without waiting for a long time, but the fare is not cheap. I suggest you get more discount cards.

Fourth, food.

Compared with China's rich ingredients and cooking methods, the Netherlands is monotonous. Potatoes are the most common raw materials on the dining table, including boiled, fried and steamed, but it is still boring to be full of potatoes. The common staple foods are bread and sandwiches; Soups are rich, such as bacon soup, asparagus soup, tomato soup and vegetable soup. However, there are few refreshing soups thickened with cheese and other ingredients in metropolis, and they are sweet, which is still difficult to adapt to.
