Universities and institutions of higher education

University education in the Netherlands has a long history. The oldest university in the country, Leiden University, was founded in 1575. Currently, the Netherlands has fourteen universities, spread throughout country.

The Dutch universities differ in size and educational provision, but in other respects they are largely comparable: they are all of the same general level and have the same status.

In the Netherlands there is no question of some universities having a higher or lower status as in many other countries. All universities are considered to be capable of offering the same levels of education, research and scholarship, regardless of specialization, size or denominational status.
