The shorter courses usually do not allow enough time for language study. In many cases, the receiving institution helps with the application procedure. Unless you are from a member state of the EU or EEA, the possibilities to work are limited. All students from outside the EU or EEA need a work permit in order to do an internship or work placement in the Netherlands. They are allowed to work for a maximum of ten hours a week during the year or full-time during the months June, July and August.
Fellowships are available for some of the courses.
Check the course listings under scholarships , and turn to sections 9 and 10 for detailed information about the various possibilities. More information about study for a Ph.D. degree is given in section 11. Section 12 provides information on the Netherlands Alumni Associations which are active around the world.
