Fellowships for master's degree programmes 12/21/2009
The Netherlands’ higher education sector offers a large number of international master’s degree programmes. They cover almost every field of study, allowing candidates to receive a postgraduate education and to earn a Dutch Master of Arts degree, a Master of Science degree, or a Professional Master’s degree. Master of Arts and Master of Science A Master of Arts or a Master of Science degree is an academic degree, usually awarded by traditional universities on completion of a postgraduate research-oriented course of one to two years in duration. Professional Master A Professional Master's degree is awarded by different types of institutes of higher education and focuses on more professionally-oriented teaching programmes. Professional Master’s degrees are usually of shorter duration than a research-oriented Master's degree programme. The duration of the programmes varies between 9 and 24 months. E-learning courses After a successful e-learning pilot, these programmes and courses have also been added to the NFP Course List. These are indicated on the course list with the term “e-learning”. Special conditions will apply to these courses. These conditions will be announced on the Nuffic website. More information
