Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences - HRO Speciality : Tourism & Hospitality
programme: International Business and Tourism Management

I really enjoy the part of my university that is very practical and it gives a diverse background from business studies. The structure of the bachelor is also very helpful and the knowledge built up on each other comes at the right time. E.g. In my first year, I covered the basics of business and learned from micro and macroeconomics to management and marketing, business English and communication, intercultural competence and business ethics. The classes are with teachers who are real-life professionals bringing insights from their own lives/businesses which I think is very helpful and interesting, not only learning the boring theories. Our lessons also include no more than 30 people, cause we are divided into smaller groups, but this assists in socializing and getting your classmates know better, and helps the teacher to be more direct with you or more focused. Of course, every coin has two sides just like this uni. The practicality is its key, that you get real-life experience quite early (already in the second year you get the chance to work with companies), but on the other hand it comes with a lot of work, especially with a lot of report writing. I would say this uni gives you more than enough to get out there and land a great job. Additionally, it has a great student community and there are several extracurricular activities/organisations you can join, e.g., the Honours Program.
