Radboud University (reviews)

Radboud University offers high quality education and an amazing learning environment. The application process went by smoothly, nevertheless, once enrolled the workload is relatively high and challenging. The IBC programme allows you to choose a language track and even a study semester abroad. It features a lot of different disciplines, which helps you find out what about business communication you enjoy learning about the most.

The university strikes a good balance between academic and social life, making it a great place to both learn and make connections. Additionally, the environment is very international, making it a diverse and welcoming place for students from all over the world. That said, it’s important to note that there is a shortage of accommodation, especially for students who have been there for more than one year. Still, for those looking for a world-class education that doesn’t require sacrificing social life, the university is a top choice.

Critical thinking was at the forefront of this BSc programme, with a nice mix of workgroups, plenary classes and fieldwork opportunities (abroad). Brilliant teachers and environment. Highly recommend.

My experience with the university is going pretty well for now. In terms of education, I can say that they have thought about everything. The program is structured in such way that the study load never gets to be too much. You get to work with different kinds of materials, therefore, practice different skills. Also, it is very career-oriented – you can see how everything you learn will help you in the future.
Another positive thing is that if you experience any challenges in your personal or education plan, there is always someone you can contact and get help or advice.
Here, you can find the balance between social and student life. The environment is very international, as well.
Basically, it gives a wonderful opportunity to grow in the professional plan, but also make connections.
However, there is something that you should consider if you are planning to apply here, or anywhere in the Netherlands – the shortage of accommodation. The university provides rooms for first-year students, but after that, it is quite hard to get one on your own.

If you are looking for a place, where you get excellent education without having to give up on your social life, I would definitely recommend it.
