There is generally no age limit for pursuing a master's degree in the Netherlands. Universities focus on your academic background, work experience, and English proficiency (such as IELTS), not your age.

Some scholarships or specific programs may have age preferences, but these are rare exceptions. As long as you meet the academic and language requirements, you can apply at any age.

Low percentage, study gap or no work experience?
