- Student stories
Groningen was love at first sight! I remember the first day I visited Groningen as a tourist and fell in love with this lively city full of students. After some research, I decided to leave my comfort zone, move to another country and apply for International Communication.
'I chose International Communication for its broadness as I didn't know for sure what I wanted to study. It was a perfect opportunity to find out what my interests are and what I am good at! After diving into different fields of communication, I found myself interested in and being really good at marketing.'
'And why is it called international? Not only do you dive into communication, but you also experience different cultures, learn about communication between cultures and cultural differences. It is more important than you might think!'
'What I was surprised about is the amount of practice during this study. As I come from the Czech Republic, we do not have many practical studies and we do not do many internships. But I love the practical side of International Communication! We get real clients for our projects already in the first year. For example, we planned sustainable campaigns, wrote a business plan, came up with a marketing strategy for an Italian brand and a whole communication plan for Centraal Beheer! It was so exciting to work on real projects.'
'Discovering and working on your skills is also a big part of this study. During skills classes we practice skills from writing to public speaking, or even hosting workshops. There is a real emphasis on presenting! You learn everything from professionals, and all teachers are so kind and friendly!'
'I can't forget to mention that all this is happening in the best student city in the Netherlands. Groningen is full of students, amazing spots, festivals and parties! Groningen is never asleep and there is always something to do. There isn't a better city to enjoy your student life!'
