Dutch universities want to reduce the number of international students – measures presented. Because their training costs the state a lot of money and they contribute to the housing shortage, fewer students from abroad will come to the Netherlands in the future.
The number of English-language bachelor's degree programs at the 14 state universities is to be reduced. Universities also plan to offer more courses in Dutch. Around 70 percent of these come from the EU, most of them from Germany. The measures will then be implemented next year.
