Choosing between higher professional education or research university?

Have you not yet decided between a bachelor’s degree at a business school or one at a research university? Below, we will explain the various differences between a bachelor’s degree and a university degree. The choice is yours.

Choosing quality

The choice of a study course is an important one for your future. How can you make this decision? There are tools to find out whether you are, for example, looking at a bachelor’s degree of high quality. Studiekeuze123 is a website that lets you compare study courses and see how current students rate their respective study courses. The Higher Education Guide publishes an overview of the best study courses in the Netherlands every year. Both tools can help you make the right decision for your future.

Study choice check

If you want to be sure that you are making the right choice, the Tio study choice check is perfect for you. To find out whether a study course is right for you, you can sign up for a non-binding study choice check from Tio. This study choice check may consist of e.g. attending an open day or a trial study day, tagging along with a Tio student for a day, conducting a personal meeting or a financial consultation. Once you have been accepted at Tio, you may be called in for a non-binding meeting with your future study coach to discuss your study choice.

If your prior education does not tie insufficiently with the study course you wish to enrol in, an intake interview and an assessment will be scheduled. Based on the outcome of this interview and the assessment, you may be accepted into the study course after all.

Even after 1 May

Tio’s study choice check is available even after 1 May. During the holiday periods and in the summer months, Tio is open every working day. You are hereby invited to stop by and experience Tio for yourself.
