Terrible. I completed my minor here over two months ago and I had to fight the teachers to put my grades in, I still have not received my certificate saying I completed my minor and the teachers have been ignoring my emails for months. Ridiculous, unfair to students, not run efficiently at all and not worth spending the money on.
Amazing University that offers great opportunities, very clean and well organized, it's very accessorised as well.
The professors treat students very well, always ready to help you in case you need it.
Very chaotic, bureaucratic school. I don't recommend everyone here to do CMD.
Four years of good education. My springboard for learning entrepreneur!
Are very strict when it comes to your own responsibility but are very lax when it comes to their own. They seem to respond completely randomly to your important questions and constantly make mistakes that you have to keep an eye on and resolve. Can't recommend the school unless you like gambling.
Difficult parking .. but good .. is part of the open day
University that has everything you need, but once you're enrolled you're treated like a number instead of a student. It's insane how bad the communication is on this University.
Hanze is a good university for the entrepreneurial spirit. They helped with my start up when I was a student there. The courses can be rough without prior education, so you must be sure of your direction.
How's MBA ???? For International Students what are the career opportunities?
Unprofessional and irresponsible. Good organization is hard to find. There is only something being attacked here. Unfortunately.
good quality courses, everything is nicely close together on campus. Beautiful student life in Groningen
Garbage school, who is coming to regret it!
Teachers who are incapable and irresponsible, management units that are not in communication, are very crazy. The whole class collectively submitted a complaint letter three times. Each time the IBS dean formally called us to a meeting, the last thing was to listen to our complaints, and then let AA (Academic Advisor, no academic guidance, find all day long) Patricia told us we can do Anything for you, sorry. It s a waste of youth and a waste of life.
I have to add a few things:
We read the master's degree in ITS in three semesters. In the third semester, we suddenly told us that there were two classes in the second semester. The whole class failed. One of the three classes was full of three classes. Failed, and if you don't pass, you can't start preparing your thesis. What does the teacher do at the end of the second semester? Can you spend the summer vacation with peace of mind? ? ? Then it is already in October. Everyone is busy modifying the papers of the two courses. If it is an individual student who fails to pass it, it can be said that it is a student's problem, but if everyone is hanging out, isn't it a teacher's problem? ? It s ridiculously dead. I have already felt that I can't graduate on time. After all, only one student in our previous major graduated on time. This school is the way to make everyone more profitable.
This year, I learned nothing about how to please different teachers at school. Because each teacher s standard is different, there is no professional academic standard at all. There are still many teachers who are part-time. People are too disappointed.
egt complains, I have to do things for my education. I just want chille and diuploma
Dramatic school hours, now Wouter misses his Christmas socks at the macdonalds ...
The IT training was poorly organized. In addition, there were a few teachers who did not appreciate it if you were critical or disagreed with something.
High-quality education and attractive modern buildings. Friendly, helpful and committed staff. Easily accessible from all directions. Had a nice time on the Hanseatic League.
(EN) Nice environment, good food at the cafeteria.
Great up-to-date education with very interesting topics to talk about.

(NL) Great environment, good food in the canteen.
Excellent, topical education with very interesting topics to talk about
The removal of the ash trays is doing them no good, but atleast i can still get Frikandelbroodje at the cafeteria so it's not all bad
Excellent coffee, mediocre sandwiches. Have yet to evalute their bachelor degree.
The education in Frank Mohr Institute is great so far. The problem is the fact that there is a student housing crisis in Groningen and neither Hanze or RUG is doing anything about it. They claim they inform students about the hardships of finding housing beforehand but saying "finding a house can be challenging" is a huge understatement. There are almost no available apartments. Landlords often refuse to rent apartments to students. I had to stay in airbnbs for September, and will be doing the same in October and I am relatively doing better. There are students who come here to study and have to live in tents. Looking for housing while studying is difficult and psychologically taxing. If you are considering studying in this city, don't.
The Hanze is especially good at selling itself, not delivering what they promise you. Don't do a CMD here.
Nice tent with good food, they are sometimes strict but the good appearance makes up for that.
It has a beautiful campus, I don't know how it will be in relation to the subjects they teach
A very modern university. Good campus in wich you can feel the best place to learn.
After my MBO education I started a further education here.
Ideal school that keeps up with the times. Unfortunately, not everyone has local power outlets or just a few. In general, very fine! Also good bus connection.
In terms of content, quite solid, but also what a "concrete atmosphere", lifeless and bureaucratic. I had a nice student time in Groningen. More because of nice sports clubs and enough time to be able to do commissions, read books, work and develop other knowledge and skills in addition to the study. Only two stars for the Hanze.
WORST UNIVERSITY IN THE NETHERLANDS
I agreed to pay this university in exchange for education and courses, in order to learn something relevant to my professional career. I have paid and been through a whole year and I concluded that I have learned next to nothing relevant throughout the year. I believe that they have not fulfilled their end of this agreement and they have wasted my money, time and mental well being.
The attitude of superiority that some teachers adopt when talking to students. Some teachers treat their students disrespectfully, like children.
A large quantity of assignments and exams that students lack the knowledge to complete. There is too much information crammed in a single block with no regard to the student s capacity to digest this information.
High expectations in regard to the student s prior knowledge, expectations which are not disclaimed beforehand. The information was aimed at people with prior experience in programming from the very start, those with no prior experience had to spend a lot of time catching up, time which was taken from other courses or assignments. In the second block they had to offer extra programming courses because a lot of students did not pass the programming exam.
Poor overall organization and lack of information for students. A good example of this is the brochure we received during the introduction week. This brochure stated that students have the option to choose from three majors in the second year (Visual Design, Game Design, Interaction Design). This was a case of misinformation because only the Game Design major is available in English. This was only stated in the English version of the University s website. The Brochure was fully in English and it did not mention the above stated fact.
Teachers are inexperienced and unprofessional and some of them lack English language expertise. For some courses it is possible to get a Missed Opportunity for simple grammar mistakes. This would be completely normal if the university itself would respect these criteria. They do not, course slides are sometimes poorly translated with grammar mistakes and some are combined with Dutch sentences/words this applies for e-mails that students receive as well.
As stated above, some courses have way too much information which is presented in a sub-optimal way and it is hard to understand, digest and remember.
Most students are treated as numbers , and this is the case because the university accepts anyone that applies and later on they start systematically failing students. To quote one of our teachers, any idiot can come study here .
In some courses, the teachers go through the slides and then suggest that we watch YouTube tutorials. I have a problem with this for two reasons: firstly, I am not paying this amount of money to be told to watch tutorials and secondly, I taught two of my classmates how to use Adobe Illustrator (knowledge which I had before coming to this University) close to the deadline. Both of them said that the courses were uninformative and not educational.
We are required to purchase materials for almost every module, we do receive student discounts but given the fact that some materials are used for a very short time and then never touched again, I find this counterproductive.
Some teachers miss courses and they are usually not rescheduled. The best example of this is our business course, where our teacher was absent for multiple weeks due to health issues and the courses were not held.
It is not easy at all to achieve a passing grade. There is a very large amount of expectations that we are supposed to meet, and this would not be a problem if the overall education that we received was not sub-par. Most students receive Missed Opportunities from the very beginning of the year because of this dress code and referencing system.
I have talked to my classmates and most of them have said that they feel the same way as I do, disappointed and unmotivated.
UPDATE: They didn't contact me yet and nothing has been done about my situation. Pathetic!
