“Best university in the Netherlands”
Roxana M
Romania, Graduate
Law, International, 2020
Overall
The University of Groningen felt like a home for the entire year and a half while I was a Law master student there. The staff was very helpful, always ready to hear me.
The university has great facilities, the building itself is very beautiful, giving an old castle vibe right from the middle of the city center of Groningen.
The teachers were very prepared in their fields, while also being very friendly and approachable. They organized moot court and projects with real lawyers as clients so that we will have an insight into the public international law work field.
Overall, studying Public International Law at RUG was the best choice for me!

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
The university is good at academic success especially in research area.I think it would be nice if the university would become more international. This is clear because foreign students can not attend any of the events such as conferences, workshops,career fairs because of the language constraints.

“Université à éviter pour les Étrangers”
Anonyme 2
France, Undergraduate
, 2027
Overall
Les professeurs donnent énormément de travail personnel
Travaux de groupe avec des personnes qui ne travaillent pas, et qui ne sont pas sanctionnés et qui bénéficient de la bonne note du groupe
moins de 50% de réussite pour certaines matières, parfois 35% de réussite
Beaucoup de rattrapages , jamais autant de ma scolarité,
Rattrapage à passer pendant les vacances scolaires
Les professeurs font des QCM qui se corrigent automatiquement, donc les corrections se font automatiquement
Et les questions sont fabriquées par les élèves en guise de punition
Du jamais vu pour ma part, je vous conseille fortement de ne pas venir à l’université de Groningen si vous êtes étrangers.
Trouver une université bien plus agréable à vivre
Certains étudiants ne trouvent pas de logements et sont hébergé dans de grands dortoirs dans des préfabriqués….
Certains préfèrent travailler de chez eux de France car ils n’ont pas trouvé de logements
Quantité de travail équivalent à une prepa en France : minimum 12 heures de travail par jour, 7 jours sur 7 , et beaucoup de rattrapage
Et ceux même pour les bons élèves
Seuls les excellents élèves doués sont épargnés par les rattrapages et des horaires acceptables
Pour les français, à cause des rattrapages vous ne pourrez rentrer chez vos parents que pendant les vacances de Noël
A ÉVITER EN TOUTE TRANSPARENCE
Vu le nombre de bonnes notes sur ce site, je crains que mon avis soit supprimé.
J’ai gardé une copie.
Je le remettrai car je trouve inacceptable ce que vit mon enfant et tous ces amis le vivent ainsi
Les étudiants de sont ecole français « lui ont souhaitez bon courage pour son futur calvaire de 18 mois » à son arrivé
Merci pour la transparence de l’école Française privé dans le commerce….
Ah oui j’oubliais un détail
Les étudiants de cette école de commerce font dans le cadre de leur partenariat à Groningen pour le bachelor : le cours de probabilité module 3, puis l’année suivant le module 2 et ne feront jamais le module 1 qui est un requis du module 2
Et oui ce n’est qu’une exemple de ce qui vous attend !

“Great University and international student city”
Annika L
Germany, Undergraduate
Psychology and Behavioural Sciences, 2021
Overall
My exprience studying psychology in Groningen was great. A wide array of courses to choose from, most of which are held by highly competent and very nice lecturers. The city itself, albeit small, offers a lot of activities for students and is populated mainly by students who come from all kinds of different places. Also, the Covid situation was handled highly professionally so that we had no delays. I really recommend the RUG!
