Hear from our current students

Rotterdam is a vibrant, international city full of life and lights. The first time I set foot on campus, I was surprised by its big size, and how each building had hidden studying spaces. I was also pleasantly surprised by the relationship between students and teachers. I can approach teachers during and after classes with questions. They act as an equal who want to teach me something. I always feel challenged and engaged by the content. I’m stimulated to ‘productively struggle’ and learn. You must learn how to manage your time so you can get the most out of your studies and student experience.
