Hanzehogeschool, Hogeschool van Groningen

Conforming to the reputation of Applied Science universities in the Netherlands, the Business, IT and Management (BITM) course at Hanze is fairly easy and straightforward. There are a wide variety of courses covering a range of subjects in the three areas (Business, Computer Science, and Management), with a big focus on the link between business and IT. Most of the faculty are friendly and helpful. A good stepping stone to more advanced studies for students with little prior experience in IT.

I have started University and was nervous about starting at the age of 21. At the time of starting my course I had been out of school and in the workforce for 4 years, however Hanze made the transition into studying very easy. The course thus far is well rounded and interesting.

In my opinion, this university is a perfect opportunity for students in my field, namely business. The education here is very practical, which allows us to apply the learned and easier to understand it. I think that with education here I will be prepared for business circles after my graduation.
