## About

Almere is a planned city 30 km east of Amsterdam, built after World War II with modern infrastructure and green spaces. Student housing is cheaper than Amsterdam—expect €350–500/month for a shared flat. The city is easy to navigate by bike or train. Amsterdam is 30 minutes away, so students weekend in the capital but live and study in a quieter, more affordable setting. The agricultural and water-management heritage of the region still shapes local culture.

## Strengths

- IELTS 6.0 entry threshold is accessible for CIS students without intensive exam prep.
- Tuition of €8,500/year is below the average for Dutch universities of applied sciences.
- The Holland Scholarship offers a one-time €5,000 grant; open to RU, UA, KZ, and UZ applicants.
- Agriculture and natural-sciences specialisations are rare among English-taught European programmes.
- Almere is 20 minutes from Amsterdam by train, combining a quieter city with access to a major European hub.
