Practice question Onderwijs (Education)
How long does a university bachelor's degree take in the Netherlands?
In Dutch: Hoe lang duurt een universitaire bachelor in Nederland?
Choices
- 2 years
- 3 yearsCorrect answer
- 4 years
- 5 years
Explanation
Correct answer: 3 years
A university bachelor takes 3 years in the Netherlands. After that you can do a master (1 or 2 years). Universities (WO) are academic and theoretical, while HBO (4 years) is more practical. To go to university you need VWO or an HBO-propedeuse.
Why the other choices are wrong
- Option A: A duration of 2 years is not enough to complete a Dutch university bachelor.
- Option C: Four years is the standard length of an HBO bachelor, not of an academic university bachelor.
- Option D: Five years is too long for a bachelor alone. A bachelor of 3 years plus a master of 2 years makes 5.
