Daniela Lavacca, Trend Research & Concept Creation in Lifestyle, Year 1

I have always dreamed about turning my ideas into something concrete, to the benefit of people in the future. That’s why this is a good programme for me. We don’t paint and draw, we are creative in other ways. The analytical part is also interesting: research about products and services. Trend research reveals the changes in markets and societies, providing the basis for developing a concept.

I’m thinking about choosing the lifestyle sector Human Movement, because I like to explore new ways of transportation such as electric cars. Or maybe I’m going for Leisure. I studied Tourism before in Italy, my home country, so maybe I can combine both sectors.

The academy is a really friendly place. We work in groups that change every period. Although each student has a different mind and approach, we share our different thoughts and visions on the future. Sometimes it leads to interesting conversations.

The first Lifestyle Week brought us to several cities to do field research. This was my first taste of this study and it quickly convinced me that this programme was the right choice. I’m proud that I dared to take the step to move to Holland. In Italy, school was much more stressful. I think the system here works better. Contacts with the teachers are quite informal. You can call them by their first name and their feedback is always honest.

This programme requires you to be curious, to happily absorb knowledge and experience from the world around you. You also have to be open-minded, so you can see from other perspectives without being judgemental. It also helps if you are an analytical person, able to look at things from a bigger perspective, recognize trends and think creatively.

Yaela Valer Mena, Marketing Management - Digital Business Concepts, Year 1

I am originally from Lima, Peru, but lived part of my life in Michigan, USA. I moved here from Michigan. I was told that it is not easy to make friends with the Dutch, but after three months I already have many friends. Everybody here is very nice. I am already in love with this country.

After some research I found Marketing Management - Digital Business Concepts and felt very enthusiastic about it. What I really like about our programme is that we simulate real-life situations, which is very important because then you will use everything you learn in the real world. We do research and createbbrand books by using real numbers and companies. The programme is very interactive and the teachers are really up-to-date and willing to improve themselves. The approach to the digital world is great, and moreover, I know this programme is preparing me for a great job in the future.

New Media & Digital Age is my favourite subject. What we learn is very relevant in today’s society. We talk about the media’s impact and the way we respond to their current changes. I enjoy every second of the classes. And it is very cool to know that we can apply everything we learn here after we graduate.

For a course called Project, our group assignments introduced us to the problems faced by international students. We were asked to find a way to smoothen their adjustment to Tilburg. We elaborated a plan for an app and got a 9. That made me very proud, because I’ve heard that getting a 9 or 10 is very difficult in the Dutch grading system.

In the future I would like to work at the communications or marketing department of the United Nations, or for an ethical organisation or company. And having my own company is definitely one of my goals. In any case, I will be focusing on creating a positive impact with regard to either social issues or the environment, because I feel very passionate about those topics.
