Upsides

• Research perspective, a lot of different sides• Why I followed more subjects outside of this master

• Depends on your subjects, but in most cases a lot of group work, which makes the studyload a lot• You learn a lot, also from the point of view from other nationalities• Who are you in a group?

What I wish I was told before starting this master
