For Schools & Universities

Prepare your students optimally for higher education

For students

One in three students in the Netherlands drops out during or after their first year at university. It doesn’t have to be that way.

I work with students in both the Dutch and IB system who are considering studying in the Netherlands. My sessions combine insider insight into Dutch higher education with practical guidance that helps students make confident, well-informed choices.

• Guest lectures on studying in the Netherlands – What is student life really like? What are the key differences between a research university (universiteit) and a university of applied sciences (hbo)? And what will really be expected of you in your first year?

• Workshops to uncover strengths and talents – What are you naturally good at, and how can this guide you towards the right study choice?

• Interactive sessions on program and subject differences – A degree may sound appealing, but does it truly fit your profile, personality and long-term goals?

For education professionals

I collaborate with mentors, career counselors and IB coordinators who support students in their next steps.

• Workshops and intervision sessions on effective study choice guidance and career orientation – What should international students pay attention to when choosing a study program in The Netherlands? What can they do with an IBDP or IBCP diploma?

• Sessions to prepare students for Dutch higher education – What are the most common pitfalls in the first year, and how can you help students avoid them?

• Insight sessions on the differences between universities  – What are the key distinctions, and how can they influence a student’s success?

Curious how this could benefit your students or team? I’d be happy to provide a free guest lecture or workshop — practical, interactive and tailored to an international audience.
