HAN University: Preparatory English Intensive Course (EIC)

The English Intensive Course (EIC) is designed for foreign students interested in following an English-language Bachelors programme at the HAN University of Applied Sciences / Arnhem Business School. This course will help you significantly improve your English while familiarising you with the Dutch education system and culture.

Why follow the English Intensive Course?

Many foreign students are interested in studying in the Netherlands. Despite starting out with motivation and determination, not all students are able to complete their studies and obtain diplomas. Sometimes language skills are the problem, even where English is the working language in the classroom.

The new English Intensive Course (New EIC) at HAN University of Applied Sciences has been redesigned for foreign students who would like to study in the Netherlands. The course will help students to improve their English considerably (the working language in class) and it will make them familiar with Dutch culture and our study culture.

Another plus is that students will be prepared for their foundation year by training their study and interpersonal skills.  

Attending the English Intensive Course (EIC) before beginning a study at the Arnhem Business School will greatly increase your chances of successfully completing your study in the Netherlands. 

Students will find their way around at school and their new surroundings during the course. Moreover, once in their foundation year, they will have adjusted to a way of studying that is required in the international foundation year. New EIC will also make it easier to get in touch with Dutch fellow students. 

Lectures also cover Dutch culture and study skills. Classes are generally finished around 2.15 pm each day, leaving you sufficient time for studying. At the end of each lecture period (6 or 7 weeks of classes) students will be given exams developed by HAN University of Applied Sciences to evaluate whether they meet required skills levels.

Starting dates

The EIC begins each semester, starting in both September and February. Within 2 weeks of the start date you are still able to follow the course. A programme introduction will be held on the Thursday or Friday before the start date. The next EIC begins 31 August 2009. 

There are two New EIC programmes:

• New EIC^{6 months}: entry requirement is an IELTS score of at least 5.5 on all parts of the test. At the end of the course (after 6 months), students pass if they have reached a level comparable to C1 of the European Framework( IELTS 6 or higher).
• New EIC^{1 year}: entry requirement is an IELTS score of at least 5.0 on all parts of the test. At the end of the course (after 12 months), students pass if they have reached a level comparable to C1 of the European Framework IELTS 6 or higher.

 

As New EIC is an intensive course, students must be prepared to work hard and attend a substantial number of classes. After each lecture period (6 or 7 weeks of classes) students will take exams developed by HAN University which match the level required of the students at that time. 

 

New EIC in a nutshell:

• Greatly increase your level of English
• PLUS: become familiar with Dutch (study) culture
• PLUS: be well prepared for your foundation year
• PLUS: get in touch with Dutch students and students from across the globe 

Requirements EIC 1 semester:  

• certificate at higher secondary level
• Minimum IELTS 5.5 overall (with no part under 5.5)

 
Requirements EIC 1 year:  

• certificate at higher secondary level
• Minimum IELTS 5.0 overall (with no part under 5.0)

 
 

Cost *:

•       EIC 1 semester 2300 euro
•       EIC 1 year 3950 euro

Saxion University: Master of Science in Urban & Regional Planning

Saxion University offers a new master programme in the field of Urban and Regional Planning. 

Hundreds of years ago people built their homes wherever they wanted to, especially in rural areas. In towns however, the situation was already complicated in the Middle Ages. Even now we can recognize how towns were built on favourable places like rivers, lakes or near the sea, so people could use boats to travel or transport goods to sell. Especially in a country like the Netherlands, almost one big river delta, the majority of towns are built near water.
Because the Netherlands was prosperous at an early stage, many people were attracted to live here.

So the Netherlands became one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Planning is essential for us now. We must plan very carefully where to build houses, railroads, highways, industrial districts, offices and agricultural areas. Regional developments can easily lead to conflicts between stakeholders if not guided properly. The conservation and development of nature areas require careful planning as well.

The need for sustainable planning is not limited to The Netherlands and Europe of course.The programme provides students from all over the world with an understanding all the forces that shape urban and rural areas at home and abroad, it also equips them with the tools needed to confront the key challenges in the professional field of a planner.

Course type: master
Course sector: Life Science
Course duration: 1 year

Leiden University: Rank or be ranked

On 6 and 7 February the International Office of Leiden University is organising its third international symposium on ranking. 'Ranking is a game,' according to Dr Robert Coelen, Director of the International Office at the Leiden University. ‘But you don't have any choice; you have to take part.' Robert Coelen: ‘Leiden has a reputation as the centre of experise for rankings within Europe.’

Different rankings

There are a number of different international rankings, all of which apply different criteria, and these rankings are mainly focused on science and social sciences.  The two most prominent ones are the Shanghai Ranking from the Chinese Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the English Times Ranking from the Times Higher Education. Currently, the rankings are mainly based on the universities' research performance. The  Shanghai Ranking is fairly consistent (in 2007 and 2008 Leiden was in 71st and 76th position respectively) but according to the Times Ranking Leiden has risen twenty places in one year (from 84th position in 2007 to 64th in 2008).

Selling newspapers

Coelen takes a critical view of this. 'Such a jump isn't possible in one year, unless the criteria have changed, and that's just what has happened.  And it's something the Times keeps on doing.  My theory is that the objective is to keep the result as exciting as possible so that they can sell more newspapers.  During the symposium I'm going to put my theory to Martin Ince, Commissioning Editor of the Times Higher Education Supplement. He can take it, but I am very interested to hear how he will react.’

'Ranking is a game,' according to Coelen, ‘but you don't have any choice; you have to take part and treat it seriously because your ranking is an important indication of your university's prestige.  And politicians, policy-makers, scientists, PhD students and master's students base their judgments on rankings and make choices accordingly.'

Three themes

The programme for the symposium, which is sponsored by the European Association of International Educators, revolves around three major themes. The first is the methodology of ranking.  Professor Ton van Raan of the  Centre for Science and Technology Studies will explain how, with the financial support of a European subsidy, he intends to devise a more realistic and fair method of ranking in his Leiden ranking.  ('The reason the symposium is being held in Leiden is that we have a reputation in Europe as the centre of expertise for rankings,' says Coelen.) The second theme is the way in which universities and governments handle rankings. The third theme is the worldwide impact of rankings.

Self ranking

Although the thinking goes beyond rankings, as is witnessed by the title of one of the lectures: ‘Moving beyond university rankings: developing world class university systems’, Coelen believes that we will still be dealing with rankings for some time.  'Countries with few universities in the main rankings have started doing their own rankings, then at least their universities have a place somewhere.  It's a case of  rank or be ranked.’

‘Students will start looking at rankings differently.’

Minor differences

'I do expect there to be a shift in the way international students view rankings,' he says. 'I think they will realise that you may well have an absolute top 25, but that after that it doesn't really make much difference if a university is in 50th or 75th position. When you analyse it, what are we actually talking about? Differences of one-tenth on particular elements. I once took a drawing done by one of my children to the teacher. She had given the drawing a 7.8, but I felt it was worth 7.9, so I asked her how she arrived at that 7.8. As you might expect, she wasn't able to give a satisfactory explanation.'

Own criteria

'The universities in the range from 1 to 25 in the rankings are relatively stable.  After that you can be reasonably sure that numbers 25 to 100 are good universities where a foreign student can enrol with every confidence as to the universities' teaching and research.  Once that message has been understood, other aspects start to play a role.  For instance, for keen sports students the sporting facilities are important.  For others, accommodation is a key aspect, and for yet others the university's attitude towards students and how they are treated is a major factor. There are already ranking systems where students can modify a number of criteria themselves.'

Amsterdam University College: information session on 2 February

AUC is organising an information session on 2 February 2009!

Amsterdam University College (AUC) is a joint Bachelor (Honours) programme of two major research universities, the University of Amsterdam and VU University Amsterdam.
AUC offers an English taught international liberal arts and sciences programme.

 

University-level studies leading to a Bachelor degree

Dutch universities already offer a comprehensive range of excellent Bachelor programmes, but by establishing University Colleges they have succeeded in further widening the choice for students looking for top quality higher education in the Netherlands.

The University Colleges so far established by the Dutch universities tend to share the following characteristics:

• University-level undergraduate studies
• Three-year Bachelor (Honours) programme
• Liberal arts and sciences approach
• Small scale and selective
• High tempo, demanding, intensive studies, taught in English
• Dutch and international students living and studying together
• Small classes, low student to staff ratio
• Emphasis on personal tutoring/support of students

The University Colleges are meeting a demand within the Netherlands and abroad for more Bachelor-level programmes taught in English. Their liberal arts and sciences approach with its broad educational perspective is proving popular with both Dutch and international students alike.

The University Colleges have quickly been welcomed as a valuable addition to the Dutch higher education landscape, focusing on excellence at Bachelor level. Their students consistently give them the best scores in national surveys (such as Elsevier's annual review of higher education in the Netherlands), particularly for the level of education and the quality of the teachers. Their graduates have qualified for top-level postgraduate programmes in the Netherlands and abroad.

 You are warmly invited to attend this session, where you can find out more about AUC.

Details will be published on our website Amsterdam University College.
