The programme has so many different subjects in each quarter, which are super interesting and informative.

When I graduated from high school I was completely lost regarding what to study. I liked science very much, but my home country is not very interested in topics like the environment, therefore the programme I was seeking did not exist. When I started looking for programs abroad and finally found ESSET at Avans, I just knew it was the perfect match for me.

The programme has so many different subjects in each quarter, which are super interesting and informative. Also, the teachers and the university staff are always there to help students and resolve questions. 

First year

Doing my first year of university online has been fairly difficult, because of  the traveling and being far away from home, but at no time have I regretted my decision. There is a lot of support between students and teachers and also living in a student accommodation has been an amazing opportunity to get to know new people and cultures.

After being at ESSET for 7 months I can wholeheartedly recommend this programme and university. The environment is very positive, supportive and you learn and acquire so many skills, since Avans not only focuses on the theoretical but also on the practical aspects.
