Category: Study

Now I am in my masters and I have been studying for several years, I have gained quite some experience as a student. On this page, I share my study experiences acquired at different universities in different countries. With this, I hope to be of help to other students who are considering to or going to study at one of these universities.

I did a bachelor in Soil, Water and Atmosphere at the Wageningen University and I went on an exchange to do a minor in Polar Meteorology and Climate at UNIS in Svalbard. Currently, I am following the study track Meteorology in the master program Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Helsinki.
