The ranking includes student reviews, study success rates and an updated list of all the university bachelors. Moreover, it contains information on the employment market and comparisons with other universities offering the same study programmes. The National Student Survey is a key item in the Keuzegids. The results of this survey contribute approximately 70 per cent towards the universities’ scores. This makes the Keuzegids a valuable guide for prospective students and their parents in assessing the quality of education at Dutch universities.
