Chính, International Communication Master student from Vietnam

Xin chào! (Hello) 👋
I’m Chính from Vietnam - a storyteller at heart who believes the world is made not only of atoms but also of stories we share. Here’s my 3 WHY story:

Why the Netherlands?
I chose the Netherlands for its world-class education and work-life balance, a place where I can push my boundaries while still having time to breathe and appreciate the little things along the journey. Here, I’m learning balance in the most fundamental way - like cycling in the snow. 

Why Hanze?
Hanze stands out with its hands-on approach. To truly master something, we shouldn’t just understand why and what; the real key is knowing how to. At Hanze, I get to tackle real-world challenges from global organizations like IKEA, Unilever, Zara, and NGOs. I feel truly grateful to have been awarded the Hanze Scholarship, which motivates me to give my best every day and to contribute back to this inspiring community.

Why MIC (Master of International Communication)?

Diversity - a global village in every classroom. A simple word like ‘Yes’ can carry different meanings depending on the culture: excitement, hesitation, or even a polite ‘No’. MIC has shown that true communication isn’t just about speaking but understanding what’s unspoken across differences.

I’m proud to be part of the oldest comprehensive university of applied sciences in the Netherlands, located in the healthiest city of one of the world’s happiest countries. And this is just the beginning of my journey.
