Five museums are run by the university.</p> <h3>3. Wageningen University and Research Center</h3> <p>With a specialist focus on agricultural and environmental science, Wageningen University and Research Center is one of the world’s best institutions for life sciences and social sciences.</p> <p>It is one of the best 50 universities in the world and is in the top 20 for life sciences.</p> <p>There are just under 10,000 students taking undergraduate degrees, postgraduate degrees and professional qualifications.</p> <p>Most of the undergraduate BSc programmes are taught partly in Dutch and partly in English, but about 40 undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are taught solely in English.</p> <p>The university attracts a significant number of international students for this reason – about 20 per cent of all students are from overseas.</p> <p>In total, the university offers 20 different undergraduate programmes, including courses in business, international development and health sciences. There are 29 programmes at master’s level, all of which are taught in English. All courses take two years to complete.</p> <p>The town of Wageningen is in the centre of the country, but it is not too far from Amsterdam or the border with Germany.</p> <p>The university’s motto, in line with its focus on social and commercial problems, is: “To explore the potential of nature to improve the quality of life”.</p> <p><strong>- <a data-mz data-module="student_article-body" data-position="body" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170129122515/https://www.timeshighereducation.com/student/news/elite-universities-dominate-life-sciences-subject-ranking-2015-16">Top universities for life sciences</a></strong></p> <h3>4. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170129122515/https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/erasmus-university-rotterdam" data-mz="" data-module="article-uni-link">Erasmus University Rotterdam</a></h3> <p>Teaching and research at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170129122515/https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/erasmus-university-rotterdam" data-mz="" data-module="article-uni-link">Erasmus University Rotterdam</a> focuses on four broad academic areas: health, wealth, governance and culture.</p> <p>Students learn in international classrooms, where both lecturers and students come from a variety of different countries.</p> <p>At bachelor level’s, most programmes are taught in Dutch, but there are also specialised international programmes taught in English that are designed to prepare students for international careers in business, communication and media. About 40 per cent of the students on these programmes are international.</p> <p>Most postgraduate degrees – including taught master’s, research master’s and doctorate programmes – are taught in English.</p> <p>First years who are high-achieving undergraduates are invited on to a special honours programme that tackles contemporary issues in society and science.</p> <p>The university is spread across four campuses, with most facilities located on Campus Woudestein, often referred to as “the heart of the university”.
