About studying in Groningen

Why did you choose to study at the University of Groningen?

I wanted to study in Demography especially in Population Studies. The Demography department at the University of Groningen is well established and recognized.

I have gained a lot because my study program enables me to think independently.

What skills and attributes did you gain from your course?

Theoretical knowledge in the field of Demography and practical knowledge to do research independently in this field. The education system in Groningen enables students to study independently making it unique. Biking and the people of Groningen is what I enjoyed most.

I would advise any student coming here to just come and enjoy the study and life of Groningen!
