School in Holland

i'm considering going to Holland for university. i live in Canada now. i'm going for a degree in Criminology. i'd also need a part-time job. I don't speak a word of dutch, and i'd prefer not to learn until i'm there. i was wondering if anyone can help me on what universities have a good rep for the program, and which don't. unfortunately its not something u can figure out from their websites

thanks
andrea

First of all, we have a sticky thread for foreigners

Second of all, I'm not aware of any universities in Holland that offer an education in criminology. I had a girl in my class in high school who wanted to study criminology, and she went (had to go?) to Belgium (Leuven) for that. Situations may have changed over the years though (this was over 6 years ago).

EDIT: I see the University of Leiden offers criminology, but it has a numerus fixus. Don't know how they deal with foreigners though, there might be different regulations for them.

As far as learning Dutch goes, I highly recommend doing so. Although most professors speak English pretty well, and most books and readers are in English here, that might be different for courses dealing with law. You would have a hard time not speaking / being able to understand Dutch then.

Funny, as I intend to study Criminology next semester aswell

Sent you a PM with some details.

Btw, questions abt holland (and thus including studies) should be posted in the appropriate thread, which is one of the sticky ones.

VU en Universiteit Leiden en volgens mij Erasmus Uni geven sinds vorig jaar deze studie.
