The International Institute of Social Studies can continue to recruit international students. The freeze does not apply to certain knowledge centres focusing on international higher education. Previously, Minister of Education, Culture and Science, Robbert Dijkgraaf, called on all higher education institutions to stop actively recruiting international students.<\/p>\n

The recruitment freeze for international students does not apply to specific institutes that focus on international higher education, such as the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) and the Institute of Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS) at Erasmus University Rotterdam. These institutes have a different financial status and offer post-initial programmes, mostly for students who have already completed other studies and often have working experience. ISS and IHS, which mainly train students from Asia, Africa and South America, may continue to actively attract international students. This has been confirmed by ISS Rector Inge Hutter.<\/p>\n\n\t
