Student

Joost Vossers - Master's Degree in Artificial Intelligence

“What do you think about the programme and the teachers/teaching?

The programme is awesome! My programme is not that big, which makes it possible to form close relations with teachers and supervisors. Like I said, it’s quite diverse, and I’ve learned a lot about the different directions to pursue after my studies. Because of the small scale, the teachers are really involved with students, and they want to hear from us to improve their courses based on what we are interested in.”

Franziska Paul - Master's Programme in Business Development and Internationalism

“What is it that you like with the program so far?

I especially like the practical orientation and the fact that we had the chance to directly work together with well-established companies. Other than that, I like that the modules are run one after the other so you can fully concentrate on each of them.”

Lilian Madureira Teles - Master's Programme in Political Science

The master’s programme offers an opportunity to take an internship course. What were your thoughts about it? Was it a natural choice for you to do an internship?

Undertaking an internship as part of my Master’s degree was not only a natural choice but also an exciting opportunity for me. I saw it as a chance to gain hands-on experience in the field of Political Science, advance my knowledge of politics, and develop new skills. Before starting the Master’s programme, I had worked for six years in international relations in Brazil, so I was excited to explore a new field in a completely different context. I perceived the internship course as the perfect complement to my studies.”
