Recently, I have graduated in Applied Psychology (BCs) at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and I have to say that I am very glad I have gained this experience. The teachers have always supported me in the assignments. The study was designed in a way to give us as many experiences with the professional world as possible. From the first year on I have done internships and they gave me several group or individual assignments with real-life companies. While my experience has been very good at my home university, I have given 4 stars due to the experience when I did the last year of my studies abroad. I think the contact with the university was not very well constructed. My mentor has never tried to come in contact with me and when I tried to come in contact with the mentor, he said he was busy. I truly believe it is important to still feel connected with your home university when you study a year abroad.
The university itself is beautiful and the location is very central. I have always loved going to the university, because of the open working spaces and the beautiful views. Without the abroad experience, I would have given it a 5 stars.
