pilot code of conduct incoming mobility VET level 4

Internationalisation of education is essential for acquiring knowledge, skills and professional competencies and contributes highly to the personal development and identity-building of students.

In a pilot scheme, the minister of Education, Culture and Science explores the possibilities for relaxing the admission policy for level 4 studies in Vocational Education and Training (VET, Dutch: mbo). In cooperation with the umbrella organizations of VET, which are the MBO Council, then the AOC Council and the Netherlands Council for Training and Education (NRTO), a text for the Code of Conduct and the Rules and Regulations has been drafted and conditions for taking part in the pilot scheme have been set. The Code of Conduct VET level 4 came into force on 1 February 2017.

The Code of Conduct contains agreements made by (representatives) of institutions in vocational education and training about working with international students, for example on the information to this group and on the (language) requirements the students must meet before they can be enrolled in the institution.

The government requires the educational institution to sign the Code of Conduct before granting a residence permit to an international non-EU participant. This website contains the list of institutions that have committed themselves to the Code of Conduct VET level 4.
