“The difference between the cultures is intriguing”
''Nynke Schaafsma studied International Agribusiness and Trade in Velp. She is very enthusiastic about the English-language programme. “There’s a good atmosphere there!”
“I wanted to do a business degree and preferably in English. I didn’t have much interest in the agricultural part of the programme at first, however, after joining an orientation day, I was fully convinced. I really enjoyed it and I'm very glad I chose this field and Van Hall Larenstein. There’s a good atmosphere for studying there!”
“At the beginning of the first year, we did a project for Grolsch. For this project, we went to the Grolsch brewery and were able to take a look at the entire production process. Very interesting! I had never done anything like that before either so it was a good start to my studies. Later, I did a fantastic internship at an orchid nursery in Canada. Here I learned a lot about this product's entire supply chain!”
She really enjoys following an English-taught study programme: “It's a huge plus for your future job if you have a good command of the English language. I find it particularly fascinating to work with fellow foreign students. Everyone looks at things in a different way and the difference between cultures is also interesting. You learn how to deal with that right from the start of the programme.''
