Choose where you want to go to school. Most schools that offer Dutch degrees are located in Europe, either in the Netherlands or outside. One of the most common countries to study for a degree in Dutch is the United Kingdom. The University of Sheffield and the University of Nottingham both offer undergraduate degrees in Dutch, usually paired with other subjects. At the University of Sheffield, you can choose between a B.A. in French with Dutch, German with Dutch or history with Dutch. The University of Nottingham offers French with Dutch and German with Dutch B.A. programs. University College London offers postgraduate degrees in Dutch Cultural Studies.
Apply to schools. Narrow your list down to three or four top choices and apply to these first. It will be easier to keep track of your applications, acceptances and rejections if you keep your list of schools short. Make sure you meet all application requirements and submit your application by the deadline.
Select a school. With luck, you will be accepted to more than one school. Accept the offer of admission from your top choice and enroll in your first classes.
Keep up to date on degree requirements. Check in regularly with your program's requirements and speak to an academic advisor to make sure you are taking the right classes and are staying on track to getting your Dutch degree. Go to all your classes and complete all coursework to ensure you move forward in the program and achieve your degree at the end of it.
Consider postgraduate studies. Once you have your Dutch B.A., consider a master's program to further your education and improve your skills. As mentioned earlier, University College London offers master's programs in Dutch Cultural Studies. Its course of study is flexible and you can work towards your master's through distance learning or part-time evening studies, leaving time to work and gain practical experience along the way.
