Ambassador
Marco
“My name is Marco, I’m 27 years old, and I study Marketing Management at Hanze University of Applied Sciences. Living, studying, and working here over the past three years has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I was looking for a practical approach and at Hanze I found it: real projects with companies, teamwork, and hands-on application of theory. Some of my favorite projects include collaborations with Paula’s Choice, HEMA, and a card game for children that we designed and sold ourselves.
I’m currently doing a six-month internship at a Dutch company (with a dog in the office!). I still have one year to go, but I’ve already built a strong CV and an international network of friends.”
