An exciting step, but also a huge transition. The differences in language, culture and education systems are large and are often challenging. The result? Many of these students perform less well or even drop out. This requires a targeted and joint approach.     <\/p><p>Eleven universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands are therefore joining forces to better guide the transition to higher professional education and to increase the success of Caribbean students. Together, they are committed to a future in which these students start and successfully complete their studies with more confidence and better opportunities. <\/p><p>Curious about what the different universities of applied sciences have to offer for (Caribbean) students?
