About the event
How do international students and graduates experience finding a job in the Netherlands and what do you expect from their university and the Dutch labour market? What opportunities and challenges do you encounter, and what support do you need to successfully build your future in the Netherlands?
During this interactive focus group, we will bring together participants from different study stages and career journeys to discuss your experiences, opinions, expectations, and concerns. The insights gathered during this session will help the international university better understand the needs of our students and graduates and improve the support and initiatives offered to students and graduates.
Participants will be divided into three discussion groups:
- International bachelor’s students in their 2nd or 3rd year of their studies
- International master’s students
- International alumni who are currently working in the Netherlands
Through guided discussions and exchange of experiences, you will have the opportunity to contribute your ideas, share your perspectives, and learn from others who are navigating different stages of studying and working in the Netherlands.
Why join?
- Share your experience and make your voice heard
- Help improve support for international students and graduates
- Exchange insights with fellow students and alumni
- Meet people at different stages of their academic and professional journey
- Enjoy free pizza and engaging discussions
This is not a networking event or workshop, but a chance to actively contribute to shaping future support for internationals at Erasmus University.
