Keuzegids puts Utrecht, Wageningen and Open University at the top of the list

Utrecht University is again the best ‘broad’ institution in this year’s Keuzegids, while the Open University and Wageningen top the list of ‘other’ universities.

Utrecht University continues to do very well, says the Keuzegids Universities 2025, published on Thursday. Radboud University has lost a point, but is still the second best ‘broad’ university. Leiden University has been ousted from third place by the University of Groningen. Both Amsterdam universities close the row again.

In the category ‘other’ universities, which offer a less broad range of fields of study, Wageningen now has to share its first place with the Open University. At the bottom of the heap are TU Delft and Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Methode

The editors of the Keuzegids based this edition on the opinions of over 268 thousand students who completed the National Student Survey this spring. They gave marks for the content of their courses, their teachers, testing, the atmosphere and the way they are prepared for their careers. In addition, how many students advance to the second year and whether they graduate within four years weigh in. (HOP, HC)
