Studies Tourism Management at HZ UAS
The main reasons why I chose HZ were the practical approach, the small size of the classes, and the strong international community. it is super valuable that the theory is immediately put into practice. That is either through projects where we work directly for companies or do group exercises during guided explorations. Additionally, I think it is very important that we cover a diverse range of topics in our programme which in the end enables us to be quite flexible in choosing our career path.”
