If you're a psychological scientist working at a Dutch university & want to join us in opposing the language barriers imposed by the government, here's your chance

This plan is naïve, unjust, and misguided. To manage numbers of international students, quota are a proper tool; language barriers are foolish and unnecessary

Universities in Tilburg, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Leiden would force their psychology departments to teach exclusively in Dutch - against their will. This measure is taken to restrict the inflow of international students into The Netherlands.

The Universities of the Netherlands (UNL) have presented a “self-regulation plan” to the Dutch Minister of Education. In essence, this plan means that the Boards of Directors of Dutch universities will abolish international Bachelor’s programs in psychology.

An open letter supporting the international bachelor’s psychology programs threatened for cuts. Proceeding with these cuts would damage some of the most important and impactful psychology departments globally. #supportdutchpsychology
