FIBS in Venlo, the Netherlands was a strong kick-start of my international journey. I loved the practical aspects of the study program – two international internships, one exchange semester, and a lot of group projects. These experiences helped me develop personally and gave me a direction of what I would like to develop further on, as well as what I would prefer not to pursue.
I find the broad scope of the program, covering most of the business aspects, overall beneficial. However, a point for improvement that I would recommend is implementing more narrowed specialisation in order to develop stronger expertise in a specific field.
The support from the university staff and lecturers was sufficient, and they were there to support me in both personal and educational matters.
I would happily recommend this experience to everyone who wants to pursue a career in the international business environment and to challenge themselves to explore new horizons within themselves and beyond.
