Hogeschool in the netherlands?
Hogeschool in the netherlands?
Can anyone tell me what is hogeschool in the netherlands, are they high school, college or university? Is it that only good students go to university and others go to hogeschool? And generally how many years they spend in hogeschool to get a degree? My friend spent FIVE years to get a degree, is he a looser? Thank you.

Roughly equivalent to college. As a professor once said to me, in university we train you to be a scientist. If you want to learn how to do a job go to a hogeschool. Intellectual level is similar but a hogeschool's program is aimed at skills you need as a professional. You end a hogeschool with a bachelor's degree. 4 years is standard but 5 years is not at all uncommon. Any longer and you get to call him a looser.
