New research from Nuffic: What do Dutch employers actually think about hiring international graduates? 🌍 The good news: ✅ 8 out of 10 employers experience MORE advantages than disadvantages with international talent ✅ Top benefits: diversity, cultural enrichment, specialised knowledge & innovation ✅ International graduates with Dutch degrees are especially valued because they also meet Dutch educational standards and understand local culture The challenges: ⚠️ Language barriers remain the biggest obstacle (3 in 10 employers) ⚠️ Administrative burdens, especially for non-EEA graduates ⚠️ Smaller companies face more barriers due to limited resources How universities can help (according to employers): 💼 Better alignment with labor market needs 🤝 Dedicated contact persons 🗪 Mandatory Dutch language courses This research reinforces what we believe at Studyportals: international students who choose to study in the Netherlands bring tremendous value to Dutch employers and the economy. But there's still work to be done to remove barriers and maximise this potential.

🚨 The Dutch government is rethinking its stance on English-taught degrees, and the implications for international education are major. 'Studyportals CEO, Edwin van Rest, said the reversal was a “welcome and timely shift”, coming at a “critical moment” for universities as international demand for studying in the Netherlands has dropped significantly due to uncertainty surrounding previous government actions.' 👇 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/edQdWcEQ

U.S. students are eyeing Europe over domestic business schools 🎓 A sharp analysis by Mathias Falkenstein, Karl Baldacchino, and Benjamin Stevenin in Poets&Quants shows how ESG, innovation, and global relevance are driving this shift. Read more below 👇
#Europe #Rising: U.S. Student Interest In EU Business Programs Surges Amid Domestic Shifts Key findings from Studyportals & full story via Poets&Quants: https://lnkd.in/dj3-fAYA 1. Big Shift in #Business School Ambitions: U.S. students are ditching domestic MBAs for Europe. Why? 2. Europe is now the #top #destination — drawing nearly half of U.S. interest, while U.S. programs fall behind. 3. Portugal, Spain, Ireland, and Italy are booming. Specialized master’s, one-year MBAs, and values-driven programs (think ESG + AI) are leading the charge. 4. Students are chasing #global #relevance, #sustainability, and #academic #freedom — and finding it outside the U.S. 5. The message is clear: #Europe isn’t just rising — it’s redefining the future of business education. Thanks to Poets&Quants & Studyportals and my two co-authors Benjamin Stevenin and Karl Baldacchino
