One description in English describes Dutch Hogescholen as follows:
Formerly known as higher technical schools (HTS) these schools along with the universities are part of Dutch higher education. HBO diploma programs are more professionally oriented than the university level programs; minimum admission requirement is the HAVO (senior secondary education) diploma representing 12 years of education. The programs are usually four years long; the first year is the propedeuse, the second advanced theoretical training, the third year is mainly practical training of 6-10 months duration, and the fourth year is for independent study with completion of a paper and/or final project. Because of the length of the practical training component we view an HBO diploma as admissible with possible deficiencies. (UWM, 2004)
