NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences
speciality: Sociology

In a dictionary, this degree’s name can stand right next to the definition of chaos.
The best part about this degree is the customisation it offers for every student. No matter what creative skill or interest you have, you can explore it even further in this degree, while still also navigating how to get hired by professional companies for those skills. If you just want to focus on management and business side, that is also possible. The downside is that not every coach has the same approach to the degree, so this creative vs business part is felt here the most. What helps is that you can figure out what most coaches want. So you end up learning both, even if you came just for one side of it.

NHL Stenden always stood out as a progressive University where you are always part of something evolving. Lots of room for debate and an excellent relationship between teacher and student make this a very nice University to study at. The diversity of programmes en nationalities makes it a great representation of the working world

Generally great university with great people. It is important to note that most responsibility to get anywhere is on the student. It’s your job to set (creative) goals and prove yourself, you won’t get much help unless you make appointments with teachers, which can be difficult. So it’s key to be able to take initiative and gain knowledge and skills from “experts” in the workfield and by putting in the effort yourself. You get some help at the start, occasionally some tips, but classes are pretty few and far between. Teachers can sometimes be overly critical and subjective in their judgment of your work, but I might have just had bad luck in that regard. Otherwise good vibes all around.
