Inholland International Creative Business

I started my journey with Inholland international creative business in September 2022. What sets this program apart from traditional university business majors is that we don't have exams. Instead we have projects that need to be completed, each semester we get different assignments based on the module of study, some of them are individual and some are in groups. The project-based approach to learning can be a refreshing change from traditional exams, especially for people that never liked exams. Located in close proximity to the city center and train station, the uni is easily accessible. The building itself is relatively new but not really big. The course material is engaging and not overly challenging, especially for those interested in the creative industry. The studies give you some free time to explore other interests or for a part-time job. Teachers are nice and helpful, you can always ask them any questions. I recommend asking a lot, it always helps! For first-year students, the university offers accommodation support, since it's not easy to find one especially in the netherlands. The university organizes some additional events or activities that everybody can take part in. Some of the ones I remember are: theater classes, classouting, painting cups, making tie-dye tote bags and Christmasmarket. Also for first years at the beginning of the uni year we have an intro week to meet people from your year and get to know them in a chill atmosphere (beach day/ boat trip). The only flaw so far is a slight inaccuracy in the program. Due to changes in the curriculum, some teachers' answers may differ in terms of assignments. However, a good solution for this is to direct questions related to assignments to the teacher who is grading them. Overall my experience so far is pretty good and I can recommend it to anyone interested in the same major.

I think they care about my success

I am really impressed with Amsterdam Business School - the teachers are amazing! They are super approachable and genuinely care about your success. I am really impressed with how supportive they are, especially considering how busy they must be. The classes are engaging and the academic support is tailored to your needs. I have given feedback and seen changes implemented which shows that they really listen to students. Overall I would say that the teaching staff is one of ABS's biggest strengths - they are the real MVPs!

Studying the future

I’ve been studying at AMSIB for 3 years now. Almost 2 years were online studying due to COVID so I will share my experience considering most of the study up till now was online. I did start this year going to campus again. The program overall is pretty general. That makes the program pretty attractive to anybody because you can go to so many different fields after graduating. There is a possibility to do a major and to specialise in a field you like. However, the selection is pretty small (only 6 different majors) so that could be a point for improvement. The building of the school is located pretty far from the city centre and is placed next to a shopping area. As a result, there is not a lot to do around so most students just go home after. It’s a shame cause socialising is very important for us students. The school itself does not initiate a lot of social activities/ events which I think is a shame as well. The quality of the classes and the range of courses are pretty good. Some courses I would have to preferred to skip but most courses are a good pick. I really feel after 3 years that I gained so much knowledge about the business world and everything around it. The communication between students and teachers should be better. The communication goes through email and is very slow. Teachers should be more involved in my opinion. Diversity and inclusivity are also pretty impressive. However, the students should be more spread out between classes cause many classes are mostly Dutch students which counteracts the whole international environment idea. To finish, I would recommend the program as students gain enough knowledge by the time they want to choose a major which makes more students pursue their desired career path. I feel the school is working a lot on improving itself and its courses so I think it’s on the right path.
