Is English language proficiency sufficient for studying and working in the Netherlands for a Master's?
19 Jun 2026 · Answered by Smitha Satish S · 1 min read
Yes, English language proficiency is generally sufficient for both studying and working in the Netherlands.
Most master's programs are taught in English and require proof of English proficiency through tests like IELTS or TOEFL. Score requirements vary by university and course.
For work, many roles - especially in international companies - use English as the main language. However, some professions, such as healthcare or jobs involving direct customer service, may require Dutch language skills.
If you need detailed language requirements for a specific program or profession, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
