What is NLQF Level 6?

NLQF, the Dutch Qualifications Framework, places every qualification on a scale from 1 to 8, so its level is clear and comparable across the country. Level 6 is comparable to bachelor level.

Classification at this level isn't a label we gave ourselves. Our programme was assessed against a national standard by NCP NLQF, the official coordination point, so the level behind your diploma is independently validated.
