As a second-year tourism management student at the NHL Stenden, I can happily say that my overall experience at the NHL Stenden has been very positive so far. I especially appreciate the practical and hands-on approach the study offers and how almost all modules are connected to real projects in cooperation with real clients. They not only help you to understand what the industry expects and how it works but also shows you the purpose of the study, at all times. We are able to study a variety of topics throughout our study preparing us for the general world of business, management and marketing, always connected to our client projects. While the number of courses can be time consuming, I know it will be worth it and teaches us the necessary basics for the projects. I also enjoy how international the campus and study are, connecting with people and cultures preparing you for an international work environment, while finding amazing friends. Most lectures are supportive and genuinely want to see you do well. Its furthermore a very personal environment with small classes and first name bases. However, the study is based on a demanding schedule most of the time and connected to quite a few tests. It can be a big workload when it’s time for deadlines and the test week and it would be nice if they would be even more practical evaluations, then test. Overall, I am very happy with the study, and I am glad I chose this program. I am looking forward to plenty of opportunities to grow personally and professionally and would recommend the study to everybody who is eager to learn about the tourism business or is looking for a study where that prepares them for the world of management and marketing without study only business economics.
