I was stuck and UvA didn’t provide enough cool new insights for me. Maybe it was the way of learning and I think what we are doing now is very different and connects really well with me.”

‘During my bachelor at HvA, everyone did things just to pass, and here, everyone wants to go 100% because it’s all for their own business. I really like that mindset because that’s who I am, that’s what I’ve always done.’’

After a year and a half I noticed there were some limitations to my knowledge. I wanted to study again and learned that with the growth I’d like to achieve, Global School was a much better fit for me.
