Why did you choose Radboud University?
I chose Radboud University because it has a lot to offer its students and because it has a really nice welcoming student environment.
How did you experience the transition from high school to university? How did the university/programme assist you with this transition?
I was very pleased with the transition from high school to university. I was not sure what to expect from my first year, but I did not encounter any major problems with the workload or difficulty level. In addition, the teachers and guidance counsellors are always there to help.
What do you like about the Bachelor's programme and why? How has the programme challenged you?
What I like about PPS is that I am able to choose certain courses and minors in the second year and, therefore, alter the programme to my interests. I also like that it is taught in English and has many international students.
The programme has challenged me by introducing new courses that I knew little about and sparked my interest in them, leaving me wanting to learn more.
What do you think about the atmosphere in class?
The classes are small, which is nice because it is less overwhelming and more personal. We are also encouraged to ask questions and discuss current issues, by relating them to theories given in class.
What are your plans once you have received your Bachelor’s degree?
I am not entirely sure what I want to do after I receive my Bachelor's degree. However, what I do know is that I want to continue studying.
Are you involved with the study association of your programme? If so, in what way?
I am a member of the F.C Sophia study association of our faculty. This association plans monthly drinks, lunch and different activities for all their members.
What do you like about Nijmegen?
I like that Nijmegen is a student city, has a lot of history and is surrounded by nature.
What would you advise students when choosing a study programme?
My best advice is to choose something where you can incorporate as many of your interests as possible. Do not be afraid to choose something that interests you but might be intimidating and out of your comfort zone. Everyone has got to start somewhere and the more you like something, the more you will work for it.
