Beyond traditional way of learning.
Tips: The university is a research based university. Do not expect the traditional way of learning like in India. The classes are interactive and you need to be prepared before the classes. The exams are very different, mostly open book but includes very specific way of learning. The environment is international but if you need to find a job, you will need to learn Dutch at some point. It's an English speaking country but still, Dutch is very prominent.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport in the city is excellent but expensive. But it's a biking city. You can have your bike and it's the most affordable way to get around. The connectivity around the country is very good and accessible. It's expensive. But you can always bike around which is cheap.
Dislikes (Part time work): The university does not have a network and does not help you with part time work or internships. As a student you are allowed 16 hours of work in a week which you need to find urself. Since the course is quite intense, it's not easy to work or intern with the course. If you take an internship which isn't easy to get since it's a Dutch speaking country you do get some credit for the course but not in all cases.

The job market is not good at the moment.
Tips: It all takes time adjusting. Must look at the job market and types of jobs for the industry you are aiming for since sometimes the study might not be the best for getting a job. Need to be very vocal; otherwise, bureaucracy rules might affect you negatively, but overall amazing.

An enriching experience at the UoA.
Tips: There has been an assimilation with people of different cultures, and an introspective identity communion. The understanding of a bigger picture mentality when you interact with students from all lands and walks of life, one means that you learn more than ever. No scholarships availed.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Very approachable faculty with an extra effort to resolve difficulties. The teaching methodology was fool-proof, academic and meticulous focus on an analytical and research-based curriculum, leading to very investigative and intrinsic learning of concepts. Very diverse from all content.

Amazing course and great professors.
Tips: Coming from India where I felt the assignments were really easy and could be done in a day, it was a difficult transition because here it is difficult to complete the assignments in even a month. You need good background knowledge, and they aren't gonna spoon-feed or teach you everything from scratch. Before coming here I was told this master's study is going to be IIT level, and it is almost the same pressure. Europeans in general have far better coding skills than us, so it is a constant pressure to keep up with them too. I didn't get a scholarship but I have friends who did, they cover the entire tuition fee. The Netherlands also has a housing allowance, so the government gives back almost 30-40% of the rent each month to support internationally.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The teaching faculty here is really nice and helpful. They had a lot of knowledge about what they were teaching and very well-designed course structures. Mostly all the professors I had were European, but I did see a lot of Asian professors too. They curate the assignments really well so you get to learn a lot just from a single assignment.

Friendly people and great transportation facilities.
Tips: While there is indeed a cultural shift, people are friendly and will help you acclimate smoothly. Although I did not apply for a scholarship, they are available for students with a strong background. The government provides subsidies on certain expenses. I was quite satisfied with the course, the university and the country.
Likes (Student Life): The University assists in finding student accommodation which is generally safe and reliable. Public transport in the area is both excellent and secure making it easy to get around. Amsterdam being a popular tourist destination benefits from significant government efforts to ensure the safety of both residents and expats.
Dislikes (Part time work): Due to the short duration of the course and the requirements to complete a thesis within 3 months it is challenging to secure part-time roles like teaching assistantships. Managing a part-time job is possible, it largely depends on how well a student grasps the course material. Since the curriculum is less demanding students generally have enough time to balance both work and academics. The primary obstacle in finding part-time work is the language requirement since most jobs require proficiency in Dutch.

Embracing growth and balance in university life.
Tips: The course is challenging and requires a lot of self-discipline and time management. However, the faculty is great and very helpful, and there are lots of activities and events held on campus that you should take part in to understand the industry better. Make sure you're ready to put in the work and hours to really make the most of your course. But also make sure you maintain a work-life balance because Amsterdam is a great place to get to know yourself and develop as a person.
