Comparability to German courses
According to the International Standard Classification of ISCED programs, as stated in the following, Dutch and German Bachelor and Master programs at technical colleges and universities belong to a. the OECD uses in its annual international comparative study "Education at a Glance" for tertiary type A education (ISCED 5A), i.e. academic training. This means that the bachelor's degree courses at Dutch universities are qualitatively comparable to German technical college courses in the same field of study and, due to the longer duration of the course, they also contain more practical experience, which has a positive effect on employment opportunities.
So far, the Dutch universities of applied sciences have awarded bachelor's and master's degrees with specialist titles such as B. Bachelor of Music. The next change in the Higher Education Act will enable them, like universities, to award the titles of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science or Master of Arts and Master of Science . This was already proposed by the expert commission for a sustainable university system in April 2010 and accepted by the government in its statement on February 7, 2011. Even before the introduction of bachelor's and master's degrees in the European Union, the relevant central office for foreign education at the permanent secretariat of the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs treated the Dutch technical college degrees as equivalent to the German technical college degrees.
Since the Bachelor's / Master's structure, the quality of study programs has been guaranteed by the obligation to be accredited by an organization entrusted with this task by the state. The Netherlands was a pioneer in creating transparency and comparability of quality criteria within Europe. Austrian, Swiss and Norwegian accreditation organizations have automatically recognized the accreditations of the Dutch-Flemish NVAO since December 2007. The fact that Germany is not among the signatory states is not due to the quality of the Dutch courses, but to jurisdiction problems in Germany. Otherwise there is close cooperation with Germany: "Joint accreditation procesdures were undertaken with three German accreditation organizations": ACQUIN , FIBAA and ASIIN .
