Testimonials
About choosing a study
Kanyanat Piwmao
‘I looked at the Nuffic Studyfinder and I filled in the subjects I was interested in - science and chemistry. The content of The Hague University of Applied Sciences’ PFT programme was a good match, both as a study and for my future career. Every block includes a group project and an excursion. Moreover, there is an internship in the third year. This means that we are not only learning the theory, but we put it into practice as well. I hope to become a chemical engineer one day.’
About speaking English
Assia Aouichi
"During the Open days, where I was helping out, I was often asked if the degree programme was difficult because you had to speak English. I replied: "No, because my English was really bad before I came here." You learn the language very quickly. The first week you are supported in putting your fears aside because you cannot do anything else but speak English. Everyone is in the same boat. "
About favorite subjects
Omid Ziai
“The PFT programme is a combination of some of the favorite subjects that I've had so far. I like how broad it is. You can go multiple ways with this programme. For example you can try the more chemical side or the manufacturing of food products, depending on what you like. I like being in the laboratory. The teachers are very kind and are willing to help you at all times.”
