I will only talk about my major here, but in general, ICM is good with a broad career prospect. The teachers are always there to help us. They also handled the pandemic situation quite good. I chose THUAS and ICM because I could experience both a semester exchange and internship, unlike the other unis.

For some reason student life after the pandemic is a lot better, with various fun activities and external events, maybe because we just stayed at home for a year or more:)

The cons: understaffed, so we could see if the teachers are tired and sometimes affect us (and the time we get our grade).

Overall, ICM at THUAS is 7/10

Overall I‘m satisfied with my study programme and university. It is a university of applied sciences which means that it is very practical, you apply your knowledge learned in the courses, which in my opinion is the best way to learn new skills.
The building is quite modern and has a welcoming vibe. It is also big and pretty.
It is very international, you have people from all over the world which is super nice if you like such an international environment.
The administration, organisation and management could be A LOT better, but apparently that‘s quite common in The Netherlands as I have heard from other friends. Nevertheless, that‘s the biggest minus point for my university, as there have been quite some problems because of that.
My professors are also mostly quite nice and understanding and very helpful. They do listen to you and you can talk to them on the same level, there is no power distance between teacher and student.
Another problem with my school is the accommodation which is a catastrophe. The country has a huge shortage of flats, and applying through the university doesn‘t help you either as they have told me I would have to be on the waiting list for 2/3 years.

I would say I’m pretty satisfied with the International Communication Program at THUAS. The lecturers were overall really nice and supportive. It was truly an international environment where I have classmates from different cultures, and that really strengthen my ability to listen, understand, and communicate with people from all over the world. The courses are designed to equip you with practical knowledge and hands-on experience. Most of the assignments are case studies about brands. Even with the graduation thesis, it is also dedicated to research and solving real company problems. A 6-month internship is compulsory to finish this course, hence, when you graduate, you are ensured to have at least 6 months of experience. I found it really helpful for me during my job search in the Netherlands.
