7 Dutch universities snap up a spot in the top 150 in the world

According to the 2023 QS University Rankings, seven Dutch universities claimed their place in the top 150 spots, making them the best universities in the Netherlands.

Starting off with the defending champ, the University of Amsterdam is still considered the best Dutch university, ranking 58th worldwide. Though, it used to sit at number 55 last year.

Following the capital’s lead is the Delft University of Technology, which also consistently scores high among other institutions worldwide.

In 2021, TU Delft’s programmes in engineering and technology were given the 15th position in the QS World University Rankings. 🤓

Following the top two contenders, five other Dutch universities also made it to the top 150 rankings: Utrecht University, Wageningen University & Research, Leiden University, Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Groningen.

However, if Dutch universities were ranked based on how they treat their international students, there probably would’ve been a way lower turnout for the lowlands. 😅
