1. Is my English good enough?
Your English must be good enough to be able to follow lessons given in English. Your command of the language does not immediately need to be perfect in all respects. After all, the idea is to improve your command of the language through bilingual or English-language education.
As a point of departure, you have a 7 as the final mark for English. But motivation is also important. If your mark is a bit lower, it is always the admission interview that determines whether or not you will be admitted.
2. How often do we do work placement?
Depending on the course of study, you usually go every year for 10 weeks. In general you do at least one work placement abroad, the others in an internationally operating company.
3. Is work placement abroad required?
That depends on the course of study. For International Business, an international work placement is an essential part of the training. For Executive Secretaries, work placement abroad is highly encouraged, but in general work placement in an international organisation is sufficient.
4. Does an international study lead to a recognised diploma?
Yes. The curriculum is always composed in such a way that it meets the requirements of the Dutch Ministry of Education. With International Business Studies and International Retail Management, there is even a situation of a double diploma: you receive both a Dutch and an English diploma.
5. Will other foreign languages also be given in the training?
In addition to English as the language of instruction, you usually also have at least one foreign language: French, German or Spanish.
6. Can you fall back on the Dutch training if the English-language courses prove to be too difficult?
For International Business and International Retail Management, that will be difficult: these courses follow the British structure in terms of the subdivision of the subject material and examination. Stopping usually means restarting in the Dutch version from the very beginning. For ESS, it will most likely mean dropping from level 4 to level 3.
