Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Genuinely worthwhile"
I was sceptical before starting — now I'd recommend it to anyone. The best part: the cohort are bright and motivated, which makes the learning environment great. If I'm honest, first-year classes can be quite large. On the city — English is universal; you don't need Dutch for the first year. Overall, if you're considering Design at Stichting Hanzehogeschool Groningen, I'd say go for it.
"Worth it overall"
Overall a solid programme but worth going in with open eyes. The best part: critique sessions are tough but push your work to the next level. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city — everything works — public transport, cycling, healthcare, admin. Overall, if you're considering Design at Stichting Hanzehogeschool Groningen, I'd say go for it.
