Studying International Business at Zuyd University was an incredibly rewarding experience. What I appreciated most was the freedom and flexibility of the program. There are no mandatory subjects—you shape your own path by diving into topics that genuinely interest you. This approach fosters intrinsic motivation and makes learning feel meaningful and relevant.
One of the unique aspects of the program is that students from all years work together. This creates a dynamic learning environment where you benefit from fresh perspectives as well as the experience of others. It encourages collaboration, peer learning, and a broader understanding of business challenges.
Another major strength of the program is the support from business coaches. At the start of each period, you define your own goals, and the coaches guide you along the way with tailored advice and feedback. This creates a valuable feedback loop focused on self-improvement and continuous learning.
I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in entrepreneurship or planning to start their own company. It’s a forward-thinking, student-centered education that gives you the tools—and the freedom—to grow both personally and professionally.
