Jildert Roubos
"From the breathtaking colours of the Northern Lights to the thrill of riding a husky sled, I fell in love with Sweden. I love the country, the people and the sense of adventure. That passion for travel is one of the reasons I chose the Associate Degree (AD) Tourism Management. From the start, the programme felt like a good fit for me.”
Learning by doing
“I’d describe myself as sporty, social and adventurous. I learn best by doing, so I really enjoy the practical assignments in the programme. We regularly go out into the field and connect what we learn in class to real situations. For example, I analysed the Heineken Experience in Amsterdam and looked at different aspects of the attraction. I like that I’m not just sitting behind a desk learning from a book, but actually experiencing what I’m learning about.”
Discover where I want to go
“The study trip to Slovenia was another highlight. We visited cities, attended guest lectures at universities and worked on practical assignments. Together with my classmates, I created a promotional video for the city of Piran. I originally planned to complete the two-year AD and start working, but now I’m seriously considering continuing with a bachelor’s degree. One day, I’d love to start my own company and organise active holidays to Scandinavia. For now, I’m enjoying the journey towards that goal.”
