Student review [#27274] for International Business
at Hanze University of Applied Sciences - UAS

I’m studying at the Hanze University of applied sciences in Groningen. Overall, I believe this is a great program to follow if you like a hands-on approach to learning. The various projects you follow throughout each term are a good mix of theory and application. For example, you may design a marketing strategy for a genuine organization or play a simulation game to experience the challenges of supply chain management. This is one of the course’s highlights. Also, I believe Hanze makes every effort to make everyone feel at ease while studying here, thanks to the amenities provided by Hanze (such as a student psychologist for exchange students who feel alone or miss their country of origin). However, I believe the Hanze should have done a better job communicating certain new procedures that occurred during the Covid-19 period, such as the online navigation during exams, which was extremely difficult (since you had to Livestream yourself at home while making the tests online).
Aside from the program, Groningen is an ideal student city to live in because of the numerous resources available and the student culture that pervades the atmosphere. With over a third of the city’s population being students, the city has a wonderful mix of dutchies and international students.
