The Keuzegids

In total, more than 750 master’s programmes are evaluated in 10 areas resulting in an overall score between 20 and 100 and a final verdict by the editors of the Keuzegids. A total of 142 programmes receive a final verdict of “++” or “+++” and are thus awarded the label ‘top study programme’.
The Keuzegids Masters is compiled and published by the Centre for Higher Education Information (CHOI) in Leiden.
