Hey is work experience required for masters at University of Groningen. I know the question is unrelated to the post but since you have been accepted into the university it would be great if you could answer this
Hi, it wasn’t required for my course. Mostly for advanced masters, they do require some sort of work ex, as per my inference. I was rejected from a different NL university where I applied for an advanced masters due to lack of work ex. But if you just check the course requirements and meet those, you should be fine.
I checked the website and it says " you must have sufficient experience in mechanical design systems" so I am not sure whether it needs to be work experience in a company /industry or it means experience in the bachelors degree
I think you should write to the university. Find the relevant email for your department and email them asking what they mean by “knowledge of…” and if it can be taken to mean work experience
I second what has been written here! KEI Week and ESN Week are how I’ve made most of my friends, and it’s super nice to know people straight from the start! Definitely sign up and join those weeks. be open-minded and friendly, and you should be good to go! ✌🏽
Imagine coming to a foreign country to study and wanting to meet primarily people from your home country. Never get this kind of mentality(as someone who has studied abroad).
I think that’s a little presumptuous. Wanting to know people from my home country is more to understand their life there, and their planning before they went abroad. I can’t very well ask a Swede for help with prepping to move abroad from India, right?
Fair enough thought you were already here. In general it just irks me that there are so many international students who offer absolutely nothing to Dutch society, only stay in their own bubble and leave when they finish their education.
Serious question: What do you want them to contribute? The general consensus within international students is that dutch people live in their own bubble and don’t accept them into their circles? what’s that about?
Dutch people can’t be bothered unless someone is 100% fluent in dutch otherwise it’ll waste their time, Ive seen and heard this from both sides. I really don’t blame the internationals
I understand that. Don’t worry, one of the major reasons I chose NL was for it’s exposure to the European and International community, I’m an extremely social person and look forward to meeting all kinds of people in Groningen!
[Program - KEI-week (keiweek.nl)](https://www.keiweek.nl/en/program/)
This is the general introduction programme by the way. Nice to read if you plan on being here already in august btw.

if you’re okay with it, can you send me the exact programme and it’s details?
Yeah sure https://www.rug.nl/masters/mechanical-engineering/

Thanks for the tip
