“communication study at HU”
Anna E
Netherlands, Undergraduate
Communication and Information Sciences, 2022
Overall
The study communication at the University of Applied Sciences in Utrecht is a decent study, the atmosphere is really informal which gives students all the space to ask questions or develop new skills. The teachers of this department are all extremely helpful and nice, most of them come from the working field and therefore know a lot about the field. There is a new building with a lot of studyspace and delicious food counters. After all I would highly recommend this study at the HU!

Personal comments
In the first month i was shocked with how much money i used but later I had to cut down my expenses in food by not to buying fast foods so often or eating outside,reduce clothes shopping as I used to in Tanzania.Always you need to know how much money you use in a month so as you don't get financial suprises time after time.I learnt how to budget my money and save when I came in here.Its a big improvements

Overall
I don't feel I'm in a top of the world University. However, its good quality education. The teachers are amazing, with experience working at top companies and diverse nationalities. Infrastructure is modern and does the job and if you are European its a great deal financially.

“Great school”
Manraj S
Netherlands, Graduate
Business Studies, 2025
Overall
The teachers at IB study are okay. Some teachers really care about you and try their best, but there are a lot of bad teachers who do not have any passion in their job and is clear to see that they do not have the best interest with their students and just wanting to get paid.

Course recommendations
I think Mechanical Engineering is main source of all Engineering programs, and Product design option that I'm in now is the most interesting aspect of the Mechanical Engineering. It really has to do with innovations which make it more intresting.
