Experience
It was really amazing experiences during my study in Master in Management program in Saxion University of Applied Sciences in Deventer, Netherlands. Even though the schedule is very tight but the overall program really provide me a bunch of new skills and knowledge. Besides classroom, the program also included Business Conference where totally done by this program students included conference arrangement up to presentation. And also Consultancy Project which involves actual project and company that across the world. I could say these two projects as direct application of what we have learned with the reality of job life that needs personnel good in managing and excellent in soft skills. Undeniable dissertation report part also really challenges where needs me to combine all the skills and knowledge that I have in order to finish up the dissertation report writings. Furthermore needs me to work alone professionally and accordingly to the schedule where at the same time really built up on my self confidence, time management and critical thinking.
In other words, I may say that studying here really change me as a new person in terms of the way of thinking, doing things and making decision. This program also has been packaged together with dedicated and experiences senior lecturers and also students from all over the world with 21 nationalities during my time.

I may say that those who are chosen to study here will bring back good brain, personality and emotion to their home country. I believe that you won’t feel neglect studying here.
