What is the Keuzegids Masters?
Based on results from the National Student Survey (NSE) from last year (2024), the Keuzegids Masters 2025 compares 1,250 master's programmes in terms of content (curriculum), assessment (examination), teaching staff, career preparation (practical orientation), and atmosphere. All ratings are based on absolute scores from the 2024 National Student Survey (NSE). The Keuzegids then converts these into relative scores to show how each programme performs compared to the national average. The Keuzegids Masters provides an annual overview of all master's programmes in the Netherlands, both at university and higher professional education (HBO) level. It helps students find and compare master's programmes.
