Student review [#68724] for International Tourism, Leisure and Events Management MA
at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences

The Design Based Education concept that NHL Stenden has is a great fit for me and I am a big fan of studying here! If you are looking for a place where you need to think for yourself, get to sit in small, interactive classes (approximately 20 students) and and get to learn by doing, this is the right place for you! If you are looking for information to be handed on a silver platter, NHL Stenden does not offer that.
Similarly, personal development plays a big role in most studies. I for example, need to give smeesterly presentations on my personal development which allows me to stick to goals. Yet again, if one is not a fan of self reflection and is not willing to learn that, this is not the right place.
One other big benefit I see are the international opportunities offered by NHL Stenden. No matter where you want to go, there will (usually) be a place and time to do that during the studies.
I do feel that sometimes things are a bit short notice and could be organize better, but I also got to know that you can get quite some information if you put some effort in.

The university it self has great facilities and equipment for students, is modern and bright. Overall, I feel that the student community is quite vibrant and there is always something happening if one wants to get involved. Leeuwarden is small, but offers a wide variety of leisure opportunities.
