NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences Speciality : Marketing
programme: Media Content Creation

My experience in the Content & Media Strategy master at NHL Stenden has been overall positive a 7/10. The program combines theory with practical, industry oriented work, which helped me understand how content strategies are developed and applied in real contexts. I especially value the international environment and the collaboration with classmates from different backgrounds, as it truly enhances the learning experience. Most lecturers are approachable, knowledgeable, and open to feedback.

One area where I feel there is room for improvement is the level of guidance given for assignments. The program encourages independence, which I appreciate, and they often say they don’t want to “spoon-feed” students. However, sometimes the lack of clear instructions goes a bit too far, especially regarding what is mandatory or expected in certain tasks. Providing just a little more structure or clearer assignment criteria would make the learning process smoother without taking away the intended autonomy. Despite this, the master has helped me to grow academically so far, improve my English communication skills, and gain confidence in strategic content creation. Overall, I would recommend the program to those looking for a hands-on and practical oriented experience in media and content strategy.
