Student review [#104579] for International Communication Management
at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences

Honestly I’ve had a really good experience at Artevelde so far. I really like that the programme is very practical. We learn things that can actually be used in real-life situations, which makes the studying feel much more relevant and useful.

One of the things I appreciate most is the interaction between lecturers and students. They are approachable, open to feedback and willing to listen to new ideas, which makes it easier to speak up and be involved.

I’ve also had the chance to work on many different types of projects. I enjoy the variety, although group work can sometimes be challenging. Not everyone has the same level of responsibility or motivation, and that can be frustrating when you really care about the result. At the same time, I think these situations teach you a lot about communication, teamwork and how to work with different personalities.

The international atmosphere is another thing I really like. You get to work with people from different backgrounds and with different ways of thinking. It can sometimes be challenging, but I think that’s exactly what makes it valuable, especially, when you study communication. You learn to listen, adapt and find a way to work together.

I also very happy with the lecturers. I never feel like I’m unimportant. You can ask questions, share your ideas and have actual conversation with them and it goes further then classroom.

Also we work a lot on presenting, networking, teamwork, giving and receiving feedback, organising your own work and communicating with different people.

There are definitely busy periods, especially when several projects and deadlines come together and you might feel overwhelmed. So you need to be organised and manage your time well. But honestly, I think this is also good preparation for working life, where you often have to handle several things at once.

Overall, I’m happy with my choice. I feel like I’m building my professional profile and getting a better idea of what I want to do in the future. If you’re interested in communication, media, marketing and working with people, I would definitely recommend considering Artevelde.
