The ‘Keuzegids Universiteiten’ (Dutch University Guide) is annually published by the ‘Centrum Hoger Onderwijs Informatie’(Dutch Higher Education Centre) and uses the results of the ‘Nationale Studenten Enquete’ (National Student Survey) combined with expert opinions of the most recent accreditation. The NSE is a large-scale, national study that yearly invites all students in higher education to voice their opnions about their programmes of study.

Assessment of the 2021 edition of the 'Keuzegids Universiteiten' (Dutch University Guide) is mostly based on the data of annual surveys that date back to the fall of 2019. Due to COVID-19 a majority of the annual surveys (2020) was postphoned or cancelled.
