Dislikes:

  • Tution fee could be unjustifiably extra sometimes. In general one can question how much one can learn online and how much extra educational value is being added by the university courses. null

Overview

I do miss being on the campus and being among my fellow students. My positive experience are limited to meeting nice people in general. In terms of educational value. Dutch education system encourage you to learn by making your own mistakes so you have to do a lot of self study although teachers are always there to help you but you are expected to manage most of it yourself. In the light of emerging online university and free educational material one can argue what extra is provided by the university apart from creating an ecosystem but as an International student you have to be careful about how expensive it can be for you.

Fees

20000 Euros approx. but it has increased now.

Overview

The university is well renowned for computer science and I wanted to specialize in cyber -security and it has a really great program so I chose it.

Fees

It was 10800 euros per year and now it has been increased
