The Kingdom of the Netherlands was formed in 1815. The Netherlands has a prosperous and open economy, which depends heavily on foreign trade. The economy is noted for stable industrial relations, moderate unemployment and inflation, a sizable current account surplus, and an important role as a European transportation hub. Industrial activity is predominantly in food processing, chemicals, petroleum refining, and electrical machinery. It's a member of European Union and included in Schengen State. It's also called as " Holland". The Netherlands is the first non-English-speaking country to offer courses taught in English. There are now 1000 study programmes and courses conducted entirely in English, so students have a wide choice. The Netherlands has received international acclaim for its ground-breaking Problem-Based Learning (PBL) system, which trains students to analyse and solve practical problems independently through emphasis on self-study and self-discipline. A large portion of all study programmes is dedicated to writing papers, working in groups to analyse and solve specific problems, acquiring practical work experience through internships, and conducting experiments in laboratories
