“Hanze University of Applied Sciences review”

Veselin R

Netherlands, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2020

Overall

In my opinion, this university is a perfect opportunity for students in my field, namely business. The education here is very practical, which allows us to apply the learned and easier to understand it. I think that with education here I will be prepared for business circles after my graduation.

Pros

Practical education

“Somewhat decent choice”

Mohammed A

Netherlands, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2023

Overall

The school is a mixed bag. Some teachers are great and helpful, others (half) are uninterested.
Certain managerial setbacks and issues (slow response, unorganized).

Certain courses are more well-made than others, depending on the teachers.

Careers

They allow you to go on internships, but don't offer internships within (as far as I know)

Pros

good pace, sense of community, great campus and facilities

Cons

unorganized, sometimes uninterested teachers, sometimes slow responses from admin

Final comments

I carry too much luggage and is not worth it. Dutch people are not as snob as others, is not really important what brands are you wearing. Be yourself and always leave everyday experience as the last one. I wish I party more and meet more people, and trust me I did.

Personal comments

The house we lived as in very bad shape, the maintenance of building was neglected for a several years. There was a cleaner who visited at our place every week, but anything was clean after persons visit. We did not have proper cleaning equipment so we could not clean our rooms. In general there was a lots of fun living in there, we shared our rooms with other exchange students.

Personal comments

Most of the people outside the university environment spoke good english, I only met few people who did not speak english. At the university everyone spoke english and many were even native speakers. communication at the university with the instructors was best done by email, also after I returned to my home country.
