International students joining Dutch institutions in the 2021/22 academic year are expected to yield around €1.5 billion to the country's treasury throughout their lifetimes, according to calculations from Nuffic.

New figures show a 12% increase in the number of international students this year, but Dutch universities want the government to introduce limits on incoming students.

Around three out of four students are either likely or very likely to study at Dutch HEIs in the coming year, a report by Nuffic has found.

A “substantial number” of international students in the Netherlands are struggling with anxiety, loneliness because of Covid-19.

Slightly fewer international students want to continue living and working in the Netherlands than before the crisis, according to Nuffic.

Nuffic has confirmed it will close its network of Netherlands Education Support Offices overseas and lose its Holland Alumni Network funding in 2021.

Despite the coronavirus, interest in studying in the Netherlands remains high among non-EU international students, according to a Nuffic survey.

International education professionals across Europe have widely accepted the US announcement to suspend travel for non-US nationals from 26 Schengen Area countries for 30 days as a means to contain the spread of coronavirus.
