How we rank these programmes

Programmes are ranked by overall student satisfaction from the Nationale Studenten Enquête (NSE), the Dutch national student survey, sourced via the Studiekeuzedatabase.

Only programmes with at least 20 survey respondents are ranked, so the scores are statistically meaningful. Ties are broken by the number of respondents. We do not use paid placements — the order reflects students' own ratings.
