4 reasons to continue your studies

Deciding whether to continue your studies is a big step. Is it worth it? Or does it make more sense to work right after your bachelor studies? We get it! Here are four reasons why you might want to take the leap anyway:

  • Stay in the flow of studying: The best moment to do a master's program? Right after you finish your bachelor studies. Keep up your academic momentum with a 1 to 3-year professional master's degree.
  • Smooth transition: No pre-master required. You can start right away, meaning you save at least 1 year that you'd otherwise spend on a pre-master.

  • Expand your network: Make new connections with professionals in both your studies and industry. Building strong relationships can open doors to new career opportunities, collaborations, and mentorship that will support your professional growth.

  • Gain practical experience: With a master degree at a university of applied sciences like HAN, you become an expert in the area of your expertise while you work and study. With this hands-on approach, you can immediately apply what you learn to real-world challenges.

What's the difference?
 

Research university vs. university of applied sciences

In the Netherlands, you can choose for a master's degree at a research university or a university of applied sciences. An academic master's at a research university is a stepping stone to a doctoral program. In an academic master, you focus on theoretical knowledge in a specific field of study. At a UAS like HAN, you learn practical skills and knowledge that you can immediately apply in the field you want to work in. Not sure which one fits you best? Read more about the differences.
