However, finding the right place isn't easy for someone who is new to the country, so therefore we offer help. Related to other Dutch cities, Zwolle is not very expensive, and student accomodation is easier to obtain. Housing for Global Project and Change Management students is guaranteed in year one! The accommodation is in the city centre. For International Business students we cannot guarantee housing, but in the past 2 years all students found accommodation, with or without our help.

Studying International Business at Windesheim offered me various abroad experiences, being able to travel to new places and meet new places from all over the world, but has also provided a good basis of 4 key elements in business: HR & Strategy, Marketing & Sales, Finance, and Operations & Supply Chain. It gave me the opportunity to dissect what i really like, what i am good at or would like to further improve, but also what i don’t like. The courses about leadership, entrepreneurship and intercultural awareness also prepare you well for the future in my opinion. I also loved French as my second language which i now speak fluently thanks to my internship in Paris.
Studying at Windesheim has been a very positive experience for me. I truly enjoy both the programme and the atmosphere at the school. The teachers are incredibly involved and genuinely care about your development. Even if you are not yet certain about which direction you want to take, they guide you patiently and help you explore your options. The support and personal attention create a safe space to discover your own path. There is also plenty of room to develop yourself outside of the regular curriculum. For example, I really appreciate the opportunities to participate in committees, such as the programme committee (OC). It allows you to grow in other areas and have a voice in shaping the school. If I had to mention a downside, it would be that sometimes the organisation can feel a bit slow or unclear. Communication between departments could be improved, especially when it comes to schedules or important updates. Overall, Windesheim offers a warm, supportive learning environment with passionate teachers and great opportunities for personal growth. I would certainly recommend it to others.
