Why did you choose Radboud University?
I chose RU because I enjoyed the flexibility and freedom it provided during my program. It also gave me the chance to choose my own learning trajectory, out of many different ones and keeping high quality education and providing good resources such as online lectures and recordings.
How did you experience the transition from high school to university? How did the university/programme assist you with this transition?
It was not that difficult, the environment was international, and many events and activities were hosted by my study association. Intro week was also great for bonding.
What do you like about the Bachelor's programme and why? How has the programme challenged you?
I like that it is is very broad and allows you to specify what you want to go into, and it is not written out for you.
What do you think about the atmosphere in class (for example the relationship between students and with the teachers/researchers)?
It is very relaxed, teachers/researchers especially in biology are super chill and open for discussions/questions of any sort. They are always helpful when you need it, and tend to take time to listen and help you.
What are your plans once you have received your Bachelor’s degree?
I want to pursue a masters degree, I am not sure where yet but definitely related to medical biology specifically immunology.
Are you involved with the study association of your programme? If so, in what way?
Yes I am a part of FC, which is the party committee of BeeVee. We organize parties for biologists.
What do you like about Nijmegen?
I like that it is a relatively small city but there are so many students. the night life is always fun, no matter what day of the week and there are nice markets, nature and activities to do.
Did you visit any information meetings at the campus before you signed up for your studies? Did you find them useful and why?
No, I did not.
What would you advise students when choosing a study programme?
Look into the first year courses, and the possibility of your study to choose your own courses. If you already know what you want to do in the future, look into all the courses for similar studies, sometimes the "titles" of the studies may sound like what you are interested in, but the courses may not align completely.
