Research universities
Jul 22, 2010
There are 14 government-funded research universities in Holland, three of which specialize in engineering, one in agriculture, and one is an Open University.
These institutions essentially train students in academic study and research, although many study programmes also have a professional component and most graduates actually find work outside the research community.
The universities vary in size, with enrolments ranging from 6,000 to 30,000. Altogether they enroll some 205,000 students.
