What do you like about the programme and why?
The Bachelor's programme in Chemistry offers a lot of guidance and help from teachers and tutors whenever you need them. You quickly build a strong connection with fellow students and thus tackle various problems together. The contents of the programme fit my interests very well.
What do you think about the atmosphere in class?
The classroom is usually very understanding and provides a positive atmosphere. I have not had a situation where I felt scared to ask a specific question. Moreover, I have felt encouraged to ask any questions that might come up during a lecture or tutorial.
How has the programme challenged you?
The programme provides a good challenge. You need to develop many studying skills early on and find your own working style quite fast. The subjects are challenging, but in a good way, in that, they make you think and train your critical thinking.
How is the supervision within the study programme?
Teachers, teaching assistants, and lecturers are very approachable, either in person or via email.
What are your plans once you have received your degree?
I personally aspire to obtain a Master's degree, possibly to go onto a PhD.
Why did you choose for the Radboud University?
Radboud University provided a great combination of proximity to my hometown, English-taught courses, and affordability.
What do you like about Nijmegen?
The city itself is very comfy and quickly makes you feel welcome! It's green everywhere, and you feel at home within weeks. There are many places you can find to hang out at, and everything is well reachable by bike.
Which information activities do you find valuable and why?
Open days, since it can give you an actual feel of the campus and can provide the first bit of contact with prospective fellow students. Chatting with students and participating in the student for a day programme can make this effect even more profound.
What would you advise students when choosing a study programme?
Closely look at the courses the programmes offer and try to match those with what you find interesting.
