Windesheim University of Applied Sciences (reviews)

During my program I managed to acquire various hard-skills but also soft-skills. Each semester we’re able to select a project that suits our interest and not only we get to research but also actually get to realize something. Plus you get to travel during this program. Sometimes lecturers weren’t as suitable for certain subjects.

I am now entering my third year of Global Project and Change Management and from day one I could sense that this programme is something unique. Here I feel seen and heard. I learn the skills to become a Change Maker in this troubled world and have the freedom to try out different focuses by exploring SDGs. Our lecturers are exceptional and very inspiring. I wish more people knew about this programme.
Zwolle is a lovely small town where I don’t miss anything. I get to experience the Dutch culture while feeling safe. And if I want to party/explore I take the quick train to Utrecht, Amsterdam or Groningen on the weekends.

I started this new Sustainable Business Bachelor’s degree a year ago, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how much I’ve learned and will be able to use in the future. For the time being, it has greatly stoked my passion for project management as well as for understanding techniques to use in the business world for long-term sustainability success.

GPCM has a special dynamic that combines academic lessons with practical projects that help students connect with global innovation and sustainable goals. The classroom then develops into a place where people from different cultures share their knowledge and can interact, participate actively, and share values in order to change the world through group projects.

Aside from that, the program is highly international due to the fact that it is taught in English, has many students from abroad, and has a highly regarded international faculty with exceptional expertise in the business and project management sectors, giving students real-world experience and tools for their future careers. As classes are small, interacting with the lecturers is simple and incredibly supportive.

I made friends from all over the world, and Zwolle is a wonderful place for anyone to gradually acclimate to. Meeting people from your year is simple because the curriculum is intensive and small-scaled, and friendships are almost certain to last a lifetime.

Every assignment and learning unit is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and Inner Development Goals of the United Nations, which helps students become the changemakers they desire to be. As a result, a portion of the curriculum focuses on personal and professional development, teaching you how to develop the abilities that give your story its own identity.

The campus is fairly large, and you are welcome to utilize any available facility, including coffee shops, the library, study rooms, the media center, cafeterias, the music room, the gym, and so on. Additionally, receiving accommodation for the first year in a student residence 15 minutes from the university was an enormous advantage. Many students benefited from this by not having to worry about housing before moving to Zwolle.

To sum up, the Bachelor’s Programme in Global Project and Change Management at Windesheim University gave me the inspiration, knowledge, and abilities I needed to succeed in the fast-paced field of project management, and I am yet to study for three more years! This program has been a doorway to a personal and professional transformation that will last throughout my life because of its profound integration of theory and practice, renowned faculty, and persistent dedication to a global perspective on sustainability. In the years to come, I’ll also have the opportunity to work on projects with foreign clients while traveling abroad; complete a minor at a partnership university; and finally, accomplish my research internship in a subject that most interest me. Therefore, the years that follow are expected to be just as interesting as this one!

I am currently studying at Windesheim University of Applied Sciences, and I am genuinely happy with the type of education and the facilities provided. The university offers a comprehensive range of programs and boasts excellent facilities that support a conducive learning environment. While there is room for improvement in some areas, I highly value the type of education provided at Windesheim.

Where Windesheim University could improve is in its implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While the university acknowledges the importance of sustainable practices, there is room for more action and integration of the SDGs into the curriculum and campus operations. By actively incorporating the principles of sustainability into its teaching methods and administrative practices, Windesheim could inspire its students to become agents of positive change and contribute to the global goals of sustainable development.
