Chat with our students

Choosing a study programme and exploring your new potential future is exciting! But sometimes you may have questions and can feel a bit lost. That's why we have a team of Buddies on Discord to give you first-hand experience about anything Creative Media & Game Technologies (CMGT) and Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen or give you a perspective of what it's like to live in Groningen as a Dutch or International student. Small or huge questions, don't be shy and just say hi!

Get in touch with us through Discord!

Hi! My name is Bob, I live in the city of Groningen and I study at Minerva Art Academy. I am currently in the second year of the programme Design, in the direction of product design. I am also a buddy during the introduction camp in the first year, so if you also come to study with us, we will definitely meet each other. I think studying at Minerva is fantastic! I'm completely in the right place. At the Academy I feel at home, being surrounded by creative people makes me inspired to make new things every day. Groningen is a wonderful city to study. It feels comfortable and safe to be who you want to be. In addition, there are plenty of opportunities in Groningen for art and culture. I would be happy to answer all your questions about studying at Minerva Art Academy and life in Groningen. Hopefully I see your message appear!
