"I really enjoyed studying at UCV. Campus Venlo has a very nice and warm atmosphere in which I felt comfortable. The small-scale education provided for intensive education and therefore motivated me to work hard. I also enjoyed having my freedom to pick my own courses.

I am glad that through the open curriculum I studied different topics, from biology and physiology, to public health and epidemiology courses. I also feel that the freedom to choose your courses motivates students to more intensively engage in their bachelor's programme and future career path.

I am now pursuing a master within a direction I would initially not have thought about. I am currently doing the master in Nutrition and Health at Wageningen University with the specialisation Epidemiology and Public Health. Furthermore, I feel that UCV prepared me for this master and a further career by providing many skills trainings and projects, where I could practise and improve my critical thinking and writing skills. My favourite part about studying at UCV was the open, tolerable atmosphere and the nice and easy-going contacts with teachers, staff and students."
