Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen (HAN)

I studied on the 4th year of the International Business & Management (IBMS) at Arnhem and graduation at home university i will receive a degree from Arnhem aswell as my degree from UK. This however meant i had less choice as i followed the strict 4th year programme rather than have the choice of modules available on the International Business Course (Exxchange students studying for 6 months enrole on this course and credits are converted back by their home universities)

Have better explaination of the structure of the courses available to international students who may be less familiar with the system. The assessment and the structure of teaching was completely different to what i was used to, and although a positive experience in the end there was little support in the formative weeks from staff. There was an assumption that the system was obvious , thus question would remain unanswered and your needs were sometime overlooked. Availability of staff is sometimes poor. This tends to be a fault of certain individuals than a organisational issue as a whole.

If you plan to study for a whole year, it is possible to obtain a double degree. This will give you advanced options regarding courses. If there is any course that is offered at the University it is possible to take, even if the course is outside of the program. The director of courses is very helpful.

Do not let the social life interfere with your studies and you will be fine. If you keep up with the work then your grades will reflect.

the system could be made more proficient, especially in relation to teaching methods. coming from a university that has a slightly different teaching strategy i would say that the length of periods could be adjusted too.

access to resources could be upgraded, especially with reference to internet access. academic life was interesting though, with teachers being available for consultation, or just general discussion in most cases.

I found that the course are very up-to-date and interesting for example e-commerce and also like the international perspective in subjects like european intergration

The computer and internet facilities were less than to be desired and i also had a reaserch based e-commerce module. I would improve my academic experience by making access to the internet more readily available

I follow the International Logistics class. All the courses are not oriented Logistics. For me it is nice but because i have already studied logistics but for those who want only Logistics, they can be disapointed.

If you have resit, lecturers should offer one during the cource time, because the next semester you are not at the University(internship), so you have to wait another semester to do your resit.
