Student Coach

Do you find it difficult to choose the right MSc programme? Then maybe you should contact one of the student coaches of Wageningen University. These coaches can answer all your questions, like what is the added value of a Master for me? What are my career possibilities? What is the difference between the Bachelor programme at my current college or university and Wageningen University? Your student coach can inform you about the promotional activities of Wageningen University, and gives advice which activity to join, to get all your questions answered.  

Wageningen University, voted number 1

For the fifth year in a row, the ‘Keuzegids Universiteiten’ (a guide that offers independent information about all Dutch universities) selected Wageningen University as the best university in the Netherlands. The ranking is based especially on student opinions and judgements. In Wageningen, it is particularly the ‘small scale atmosphere’ that students appreciate most. ‘Agricultural Technology’ is judged to be the best BSc programme, for the second year in a row.

Fiona's student life

Read the weekly column of Fiona, Master student Landscape Architecture and Planning.
I went to a Wageningen Environmental Platform seminar at the Forum building on Thursday. Students from MSc Climate Studies, Applied Communications Science and International Development Studies, among others, who attended the climate talks in Copenhagen, presented their experiences. An internship lobbying with Friends of the Earth International, and a student-run project sponsoring African students to help their country’s delegations who averaged only 10-20 members (the USA had 200+, and Brazil, 700+!), were particularly eye-opening.

Then on Friday a course-mate presented his MSc thesis on gardens in the slums of Brazil. His family came because he was graduating that day, along with another friend of mine, so I joined the ceremony in the Aula and celebrations afterwards in the historic Hotel de Wereld.
