Representing 15 countries across four continents, these young (international) graduates are ready to share their Groningen experiences with everyone interested: from prospective students to alumni and from businesses to universities. They volunteer to bridge the gap between their home countries and their Alma Mater.

When I was thinking about moving to the Netherlands, I did my research and found out about Groningen. While I grew up in a big city, I was excited to experience life in a smaller one. Before coming here for my master’s studies, I had never visited the Netherlands.
Bachelor in Economics and Business Economics
Master in Energy and Environmental Sciences
Bachelor in Media Studies
Groningen is a student city and for the most part a lovely town for everyone. The flair of the city is enriched with the international exuberance and character which automatically dispels the fear of language barrier.
When I first began looking for places to pursue my master’s degree, I had to choose between the numerous universities that the Netherlands has to offer. I was also looking for a place to call home.
MSc Marketing - Marketing Analytics and Data Science
Master in Change Management
If you are looking for a small city where you can have everything close by but at the same time have a huge variety of places to explore and things to do, Groningen is your place!
After getting my high school diploma, I decided I wanted to study biology at an university. After considering all the options the Netherlands has to offer, I chose to study in Groningen. I’ve heard great stories about this city from old teachers, friends and family, so making this choice was not that difficult.
For me, it is hard to pinpoint one factor why I choose the city of Groningen. I believe my attachment to this city, and the country started when my family and I started to go sailing in Friesland nearly every weekend when I was 12.
At first, I was concerned about the northern weather and intimidated by the fast Dutch bikers.
Master in Clinical and Psychosocial Epidemiology
In this chicken (the city) and egg (the university) situation, for me it was the egg that came first.
Bachelor in International Relations
