Discover your world: come to study in the Netherlands! Zeynep Didem Nohutlu from Turkey tells about studying at NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences on International Tourism Management & Consultancy (ITMC) programme.

1. How did you decide to study in Holland at Breda?

I studied in Holland at Breda through Erasmus exchange programme for 1 year. My university in İzmir(Dokuz Eylül University) has an agreement with NHTV University. I chose to study in Holland among some other European universities. Because I learned that NHTV was the most internationally known one. And I am very happy about my decision. Because I had a great time there.

2. What was your first impression?

My first impression was very positive. Just before I came to Holland, help, care and understanding of International office staff made me think really nice things about NHTV. The first day I arrived, the university staff was so nice and smiling face.

They were ready to help me about everything I need. I found nice accommodation through university and I loved it a lot. So since everything went well for me from the beginning positiveness of my first impression continued by rising day by day all year.

3. What about your studies?

I studied ITMC and I am so happy to choose that programme. Lecturers were so qualified and well knowledged, they were so helpful and informal which created a comfortable environment between students and lecturers while working.

The content of the lessons were very interesting. The education system was pushing you to search and learn something by your own effort which was very effective. In addition to these, the workshops helped me to improve my skills and knowledge more.

They were so fun since we always worked in international groups. I believe that I improved myself academically at NHTV as well as culturally and socially. I think 1 year at NHTV contributed many things to me and became a good step on the way to reach my future career goals.

4.What does a day of your life as a student look like?

A day in Breda is full of study, learning and having fun, meeting new people from new countries, knowing new cultures, going to parties and joining the activities NHTV offers to you. So this means you are able to do many things at the same time.

The university and the city of Breda itself provide this opportunity to you. Going to the school by bike, having lessons which attribute you a lot and then going to the city center to have a drink with your friends who come from all over the world as well as Dutch students, then going home and doing assignments, projects, then going out for parties and having fun with all students outside… A day in Breda is amazing…
