I initially chose to study European Languages and Cultures, but that wasn't the programme for me. I really liked Groningen and wanted to stay here, so I looked for a programme at this university that suited me better.

The Bachelor’s degree in Human Geography & Urban and Regional Planning is really interesting because it covers so many subjects. If you like geography, but are not sure what you want to do with it, this is a good option.

I joined the faculty association Ibn Battuta in my first year and am active in several committees within the association, which is a lot of fun! I am also a member of the education committee of my programme. It can be a lot of work to juggle the committees, studying and my job, but if you keep up with your reading and assignments, it is definitely doable to join things like committees. They are a lot of fun and you get to know a lot of people. It also helps you to learn new skills.
