Fontys University of Applied Sciences

Die Erfahrung bei Fontys war wirklich schön. Während der gesamten 4 Jahre gibt es immer einen Ansprechpartner, der einen während der gesamten Studienzeit unterstützt, was wirklich beruhigend ist. Auch durch Gruppenprojekte lernt man viel über sich selbst und über andere. Man knüpft neue Beziehungen zu Menschen, von denen man nie gedacht hätte, dass man mit ihnen befreundet sein würde. Außerdem bietet die Universität Ihnen die Möglichkeit, Ihren Horizont zu erweitern, indem sie Sie ermutigt, im Ausland zu arbeiten oder zu studieren. Außerdem ist hier immer etwas los. Seien es Business-Vorlesungen, Workshops zur psychischen Gesundheit oder Partys. Es ist für jeden etwas dabei. Du kannst dein Studium an der Fontys so gestalten, wie du es möchtest. Entweder du nimmst an allen Aktivitäten teil oder du trennst dein Studium und dein Privatleben.

During corona time our university tried to support us as much as possible, thanks to that I did not feel a lot of difference in the study process and quality of the material. I like that we have a lot of practice assignments and opportunities to interact with real business companies. Also, one of the reasons why I applied to Fontys is because I wanted to have the opportunity to study several courses such as management, marketing, and finance at the same time. However, I have to mention that the organization of curriculum and activities is not always clear.

Studying at Fontys means to adapt theoretical knowledge into practice. 
I really like the fact that Fontys focuses on gaining practical skills so that students are able to have an easy start once they are working in an office.
Moreover, I value the large portfolio of partner universities for the exchange semester.

Studies in the Netherlands compared to my native country is a bit different. The idea of working in teams in projects throughout the academic duration really gets students involved and allows students to make use of their strengths while identifying their weakness.

The course is very practically oriented. Every semester has a project in which you work with different mostly international students. Additional courses which are directly related to the project help with applying the knowledge and using it on real life cases
