Inholland University of Applied Sciences (reviews)

I started my journey with Inholland international creative business in September 2022. What sets this program apart from traditional university business majors is that we don’t have exams. Instead we have projects that need to be completed, each semester we get different assignments based on the module of study, some of them are individual and some are in groups. The project-based approach to learning can be a refreshing change from traditional exams, especially for people that never liked exams. Located in close proximity to the city center and train station, the uni is easily accessible. The building itself is relatively new but not really big. The course material is engaging and not overly challenging, especially for those interested in the creative industry. The studies give you some free time to explore other interests or for a part-time job. Teachers are nice and helpful, you can always ask them any questions. I recommend asking a lot, it always helps! For first-year students, the university offers accommodation support, since it’s not easy to find one especially in the netherlands. The university organizes some additional events or activities that everybody can take part in. Some of the ones I remember are: theater classes, classouting, painting cups, making tie-dye tote bags and Christmasmarket. Also for first years at the beginning of the uni year we have an intro week to meet people from your year and get to know them in a chill atmosphere (beach day/ boat trip). The only flaw so far is a slight inaccuracy in the program. Due to changes in the curriculum, some teachers’ answers may differ in terms of assignments. However, a good solution for this is to direct questions related to assignments to the teacher who is grading them. Overall my experience so far is pretty good and I can recommend it to anyone interested in the same major.

I have been studying biotechnology at Inholland since September 2020. The building is easily accessible by public transport. There are no longer people studying my direction, but there is a study association that you can join for drinks, tutoring and outings. Because so few people do my studies, there is good contact with your teacher and you can easily email them if you run into problems. The building is new but there are not many study places inside, which makes studying in the building difficult. The study itself is very tough and many students drop out in the first year of their study. If you need help with ringing the bell and going after yourself to get something done. In general, it is an excellent study with nice teachers and if you can work hard and are interested in plant breeding, for example, it is definitely recommended.

During the years that I have been studying at Inholland in Delft, I really enjoyed the way that the program allow us to get some experience of the real engineering world before finishing the bachelor’s degree. This is done through different projects, practicals and also 2 internships, one of which I already completed and learned many new skills that will help me to develop my engineering career. Something I did not like was the organisation during the covid times, it was really uncertain what as students we had to do, and the communication was not so clear.

The school has lectures weekly where you learn subjects related to your course. But the project work which is done every semester is where you apply the theory from the lectures and get a true understanding of the material. The project work so far has been challenging and interactive and fun allowing the student to get a good grasp of the material and techniques used in the study.

The teachers, staff and governing bodies make you feel at home away from home. I really appreciated their efforts in making the online year, due to Covid, a memorable one which helps us student to adapt to study life in the midst of the challenges

Since the beginning, I felt at home at the University of Applied Sciences. There are plenty of opportunities to receive help if you need it and the lecturers take their time for every individual. I am very satisfied with my study programme!

The program itself is everything that a future aeronautical engineer would search for, not too hard, but at the same time interesting and demanding. The teachers and the staff are helpful, reliable and most of the time fun. The only issue which might be indirectly thought of as a con is the accommodations. You need to find it on your own and this is the difficult part. Eventually, everything settles down and you start to pursue what you came for.

The Aeronautical Engineering program at Inholland University of Applied Sciences is a program focused on the aspect of solving real-life problems and learning theory simultaneously. It was as I expected despite the coronavirus measures which limited the first year a lot. As a person who learns best by practice rather than reading, I enjoy it very much. It is a hard study but the university makes sure you have all you need in order to succeed. I would recommend it to a friend who is action-oriented.
