In almost every master course at Wageningen University you can expect high quality. This can be read in the Dutch magazine ‘Choice Guide Master Studies’ (‘Keuzegids Masters’) that came out in mid-February. Eighteen out of the nineteen Wageningen Master studies that were rated rise above the average of their field of expertise. Only Landscape Architecture and Planning is mediocre. The students of the studies that were rated in Wageningen – in the area of geo-, environment- and life sciences, and business administration – are very positive. According to the editors of the choice guide the top score can be ascribed to the intensive and small-scale education, and its practical disposition.
Besides Wageningen at the top is the prestigious Nyenrode business school. They owe this position primarily to the enormously high score of their master study in Management, for which the tuition fee amounts to a total of 24 thousand Euros. None of the big universities rise above the average, according to the authors of the guide. The big universities all have both strong and weak education programs.
This is the first time the Choice Guide for Master studies has come out. In the guide you can see which master studies can be done part-time, which specializations exist, and what students and experts think of the quality of the courses. However, not all master studies have been judged on their quality. Many courses do not have enough students to make a good judgment. Out of more than thirty Wageningen master courses, only nineteen have been rated. In December the Choice Guide for Universities came out, in which bachelor courses have been rated. Wageningen University came out as the number one Dutch University for the fifth year in a row.
