‘I have a Master's degree in both Political Science and Business Administration. I liked the fact that the curricula shared very few similarities. They both thought me different skills and insights in how to observe the world and more importantly, how to act upon the observations you make. A Master's degree should be an academic achievement that shows what you are capable of. It was very clear that the majority of my fellow students understood this. They were focused and often created lively discussions, making studying even more interesting.

As an International Management student I obviously considered a career in an international setting. At the moment I am a marketing intern at a semi-large manufacturing firm in Glasgow. Although it's not my core interest, marketing is an interesting process, connected to all other activities within a company. It is ideal to get an overview of which parts of the business process fascinate me the most, and where my talents lie. It's also the best way to find out to what extent life outside the Netherlands appeals to me.

Now that I live abroad, I truly understand the power of Amsterdam. Amsterdam is my home. For me, that sums up all the advantages of studying there. There is no other city in the world that is as small as Amsterdam and still feels like a metropolis. I love it. As true epicureans, me and my friends keep on exploring new restaurant and bars. A quest that certainly hasn’t ended yet.’
