Chat with a student

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!

My name is Niels, and I’m from Germany. I’m currently in my third year of studying International Facility Management at Hanze. As a student myself, I understand how confusing, challenging, and sometimes frustrating the selection and application process can be.

I’m Carolina, a third-year international student studying International Finance and Control at Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen. I’m originally from the Republic of Moldova, and choosing to study here has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. If you ever want to ask about the program, student life, or anything else, feel free to contact me. I’d be happy to help!

I'm Yoana, a 3rd year student from Bulgaria in Marketing Management. I'm a very sporty person, which balances perfectly with my aspiration to be a successful marketeer or real estate agent. I'll be more than happy to answer any questions :)

Hello, my name is Tábata. I'm a second-year International Communication student from Spain. If you have any questions about the program, the city, or whatever you can think of, feel free to contact me! 

I'm Laura Vandervennet, a third-year physiotherapy student! I'm French, but I grew up in the United States basically my entire life. I moved to Groningen in 2023, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. When I'm not studying, I enjoy doing sport, spending time with friends, or going on walks around the city.

I am a 29-year-old jazz singer from a small city in Tuscany, Italy, and I have been living in the Netherlands since September 2024. My first studies were in IT engineering, languages and literature, and even theatre, while I was gradually getting closer and closer to singing. I decided to officially pursue music at the age of 23, which led me to years of hard work that I have never regretted.

The Hanze International Student Team is composed from international students from all over the world from various Hanze programmes. We can help you with any question you may have, also if your programme is not listed above. Feel free to get in touch with us, we would love to help you out!
