Besides the accreditation of degree programmes, the Netherlands has a system by which the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science recognizes higher education institutions by conferring on them the status of either funded (''bekostigd'') or approved (''aangewezen''). Funded indicates that the institution is financed by the government. Approved indicates that the institution does not receive funds from the government and has to rely on its own sources of funding. All Bachelor programmes of HU University of Applied Sciences are funded.{{Citation needed|date=June 2014}} |
