The University of Applied Amsterdam offers a great program for STEM subjects, I myself studied IT and the flexibility of it all was my favourite part. After the first 1.5 years you have multiple choices in how you want to schedule and plan the rest of your studies, will you do an internship first, partake in a minor or themed semester. Thats up to the student. Next to that, the encouragement and support for studying abroad is great. The staff of the staff of the international office is informative and kind, and the school manages to neatly overview all the information of other universities they have partnered with and what the possibilities are for each student.

This ability to being able to plan your studies is absolutely great, the only thing is that less proactive students do not get the same experience studying as the students that try to get the most out of their time there.
