About the Keuzegids masters 2025

The Keuzegids masters 2025 provides an annual overview of accredited master's programmes in the Netherlands. The guide includes programme descriptions, admission requirements, student quality ratings, information on job opportunities, and starting salaries per field. The information enables prospective students to make an informed choice about their master's programme.

Keuzegids masters is produced annually by the Centre for Higher Education Information and compares all accredited masters programmes at Dutch universities. The ratings in the guide are based on student evaluations from the National Student Survey and accreditation data. If the number of students who participated in the National Student Survey is too low, no student reviews are included in the Keuzegids. The Keuzegids masters 2025 uses the results of the 2024 survey. The guide therefore contains the latest quality measurement based on student reviews.

All ArtEZ master’s programmes are accredited by the NVAO and included in the Keuzegids masters 2025. The academic year 2025-2026 will also see the launch of the new master in Creative Writing.
