'I wanted to combine a business study with a creative side'

Marije Vonk (the Netherlands) - Strategy

'I have chosen UvA because of its well-known reputation, and its high quality Master’s programme. I wanted to combine a business study with a creative side. Since that was not possible at my previous university, I decided to go to UvA instead. The courses are very much linked to cultural industries, such as museums, movies and music.'

'What I like about the campus is that there are multiple faculties combined in one place, which makes the student population very diverse. Amsterdam has so much to offer, you never get bored. An advantage of studying in such a large and diverse city is that if you need anything, it is never far away.'

'Next to my studies I am working at a menswear startup. After I completed my Master's programme, I hope to find work in a field that interests me a lot, preferably a traineeship.'
