“An international academic institution with many opportunities.”
Farah M
Netherlands,
Political Science, 2024
OverallThe majority of the courses are well-structured and in line with my expectations. The campus is in the middle of the city, giving access to a variety of cafés, and tourist spots but also shops and libraries.

Careers
My interaction has been quite limited as we have just begun the internship/career advice process. However, so far I have received sufficient guidance with even a review of my CV.

Pros
The university is very international and therefore the variety in committees and events is large.
Cons
Their online system could be modernized and made more efficient. The feedback provided for assignments vary a lot as well –– the range varies from professor to professor.

In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
First of all,the international student profile could have been more diversified.
Secondly, the scholarship should have been more available, as a Chinese student I couldn't access to any scholarship in the second year!
The email university distribute should have been in both Dutch and English instead of only in Dutch.
Last but not least, the university could have done better in help the students with finding interships.

Course recommendations
Make sure that everything is well arranged before coming. If any kind of problem arises it will be complicated to resolve. Burocracy is heavy and flexibility is not a choice.

No, it wasn't.
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
Although Dutch is the main language in the Netherlands, the people tend to know English, but speak Dutch within themselves. Overall, its not difficult when in a university town because most people will speak English with you.
