The Netherlands is often described as a gateway to Europe. The country has absorbed influences from neighboring countries but retains its own strong cultural identity. It is a great place to study and observe the changes that are transforming Europe economically, politically and socially. Besides the windmills, canals, bicycles, and tulips that you expect, you’ll find a dynamic economy, state-of-the art technology, rich cultural treasures and a lively contemporary scene. A wide range of courses are available in English.

Chances of Placement

Placement chances for U.S. students are fair at most sites. Some programs have entrance requirements. Please contact the ISEP program officer for information on sites recommended for U.S. sophomores.

Chance of placements for International students is very limited.

Chances of placement in the ISEP-Direct progams at Leiden University are excellent.
