Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Highly recommend"
The course has exceeded my expectations. The best part: the final show is a proper platform — industry people come to see it. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city — everything works — public transport, cycling, healthcare, admin. Overall, if you're considering System Design at Stichting Fontys, I'd say go for it.
"Would do it again"
I've grown so much academically and personally here. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city — English is universal; you don't need Dutch for the first year. Overall, if you're considering System Design at Stichting Fontys, I'd say go for it.
"Genuinely worthwhile"
The programme genuinely lives up to its reputation. The best part: the course strikes a good balance between theory and practical application. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city — housing is the one real problem: start looking months before arrival. Overall, if you're considering System Design at Stichting Fontys, I'd say go for it.
