The perfect balance of theoretical knowledge and practical application of this programme provided a truly transformative academic experience for me. Besides that, did the diverse and global environment provided an exciting opportunity for me to gain new skills for my future career and to broaden my cultural knowledge.

I decided to do my MSC in International Procurement and Supply Chain Management because I wanted to gain knowledge in the area of business which interests me the most.

In total, I am very satisfied with my decision to choose the combination of both universities, Fontys and University of Plymouth, because I was able to learn a lot, have fun and meet new people from all over the world.

With regard to the courses using the simulation software Simul8 has been one of the highlights. Every class was interesting and challenging. For me personally it was very interesting to have an exchange of opinions and ideas with the lecturers on Procurement related topics.
