I'm particularly interested in the system after highschool.
What possibilities are there?
What degree's can you get?
How does this major and minor thing work?
What are your possibilities after a university degree?
Stuff like that.
I'm from Holland and this is how it works here:
After our "Highschool" (we are between 16 and 18 at this point) we have 3 major options
MBO : Which is were you learn a profession at a medium level. I don't believe you get a degree when you finish this. These are very practial educations so you can [edit] NOT [/edit] do something like Math or Physics here.
HBO : Here you learn a profession at a higher level. You either get a "Ing." degree (for a technical study) or a "bachelor" degree (for everything else) when you finish this. Again, this is quite practial (No REAL studies here)
University : Which I guess means more or less the same all over the world. We either get a "Ir." title (if you complete a technical study) or "Drs." (if you don't).
After Univeristy we can "promoveren" which grants a "Dr." degree.
After this you can be granted a teachers position at a University which grants you the "Prof." degree. (This doesn't mean all teachers in our universities are Profs.)
Thanks in advance.
