The Dutch Higher Education Guide for Universities 2023 awards the Top Degree Programme label to Bachelor’s degree programmes that score a total of 75 or more points (out of 100). The best Bachelor’s degree programme in the Netherlands, with no less than 97 points, is Global Responsibility and Leadership, offered at Campus Fryslȃn.

  • Archaeology (89 points)
  • Theology (86 points)
  • English Language and Culture (83 points)

  • Media Studies (74 points)
  • Human Movement Sciences (69 points)
