Master’s students opt for big cities – and Wageningen

An evaluation of the Bachelor’s-Master’s system (introduced in the Netherlands in 2002) by the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis shows that more and more students are switching universities to do a Master’s degree. The vast majority of them go to one of the big cities in the west of the country. But Wageningen is an exception to this national trend: here, more students come from other universities to do a Wageningen Master’s than Wageningen Bachelor’s students go to other cities for their Master’s. Although Wageningen’s attraction is waning a bit in favour of the big cities, says the Education & Student Affairs department.
