Student review [#80343] for Business Administration
at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences

As a first-year Business Administration student at NHL Stenden, my journey so far has been exciting, challenging, and full of growth. One of the highlights for me has been working on real projects, like collaborating with companies to tackle actual business problems. It’s amazing to see how what we learn in the classroom connects directly to the challenges businesses face today. What I really love about NHL Stenden is its international environment. The city of Leeuwarden, where the university is located, is vibrant and full of international students. This makes it so easy to make connections with people from all over the world. Whether it’s working together on group projects or just grabbing coffee after class, we’re constantly meeting people with different culture. Of course, no program is perfect. NHL Stenden uses a unique teaching method called Design-Based Education, which focuses a lot on self-directed learning and working in teams. It can sometimes feel a bit confusing or overwhelming, especially in the beginning. There are moments when you might feel lost or unsure of what’s expected, but after sometimes you can take the lead and figure out everything.
Overall, my experience has been incredibly rewarding. The mix of practical learning, the supportive environment, and the chance to meet people from around the world makes it a very special program specially for people who wants to build a strong foundation in business while growing personally and professionally.
