Why HAS green academy? Ali explains: “The practical approach and hands-on mentality of the University of Applied Sciences were the main reasons for making the big step to study in the Netherlands.” The perfect opportunity to challenge himself in ways he was not used to.
Because of his background in pharmacy and nutrition, Francisco was interested in related fields such as agrochemicals and plant nutrition. That is why HAS green academy was the best option for him.
Horticulture & Arable Farming student Iza really enjoys the social atmosphere at HAS green academy.
Being part of an international programme makes it fun and very interesting to learn about other students’ cultural differences. The Netherlands itself is an open-minded and friendly country that embraces English as a second language in many cities, giving the students the opportunity to balance their financial lives and expand their social activities. I found it funny that many locals could speak my language or understand it at a certain level. Dutchies are often curious people with a kind but direct way of communicating.
Paula had always been passionate about animals, and really wanted to work in the sector.
Applied Biology student Sam has been a really busy bee as he enjoys his time at university.
The balance between theoretical and practical experiences was very important for Sayonika while searching for universities. Also, the university had to be located in an internationally friendly country. HAS green academy offered her both. This made her decision a lot easier.
