Student review [#20494] for International Business
at Zuyd University of Applied Sciences

The International Business program of Zuyd is unique because each student is in the lead of their own learning process. Zuyd provides the opportunity for students to learn the fundamentals of business throughout collaborating with real companies and solving problems for them with research-based advice in the form of a report, presentation or both. During this program, students are coached and monitored by business experts and coaches. In my opinion, students that are attending this program will acquire a lot of experience and knowledge on both the personal and professional side due to the fact that students learn to take initiative, learn to communicate professionally and develop new insights about the business.
Another advantage of this program is that students are treated equally by coaches and fellow students regardless of their sex, nationality, sexuality, experience or personal background. Also, the capacity of the study program is limited which is ensures that all students can be approached personally. However, there are several aspects that can be improved within International Business at Zuyd such as communication about general matters such as exams, class schedules and internships. In general, all coaches can be approached easily but there are individuals that take a long time to respond to e-mails and other messages.
To conclude, attending Zuyd University will push you out of your comfort zone and will teach you business and personal development in a unique way. However, the communication between coaches and students can sometimes be disrupted which can influence your progress as a student.
