gery_valkova — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:33:11 GMT

Hello everybody,

as my faculty study adviser advised me to address you with thos question, here I am doing so. It is about my scope of interest beyond the topics discussed and studies at FEB.

Before joining the MSc IB&M program, I was working for a Bulgarian company which had the intention of investing in a solar technology system (called photovolataic system). I was coordinating that project and made a market research of the most suitable company to offer a turn-key solution.

Iam going to study international economics and business.

Do I have to order all the books registered at Ocasys or is it possible to borrow them at the university's library or to buy them second hand?

With kind regards,

sabs.

A few questions - from Bulgaria

Nina — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 16:38:58 GMT

Hi all,

I'm from Bulgaria. I live in a city called Plovdiv. I am seriously considering to study in the Netherlands. I know the universities are good in the Netherlands. As I want to study business, I am considering a few business faculties - Tilburg, Erasmus and Groningen. I haven't yet decided where to go to. It's great to have the opportunity to ask you questions as I have a lot!

To start with, I really would love to hear what the facilities are like in Groningen - are the ICT ...

MVV

Luminita — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 17:48:52 GMT

In the "supplementary notes" doc that I've received were stated the docs needed to apply for an MVV (entry visa). If I am from Romania do I still need to send those documents in order for the faculty to apply for an MVV on my behalf?

Praying for hope

hooooodi — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 02:20:25 GMT

on May 21th, a heavy windy night, there was a soccer game. You can hardly find any people on the street in Groningen. However, in the corner of the fish market, there were a group of students who were trying to light candles under the Martini Tower. Who are they? What they were doing?

As we all know, an 8-magnitude earthquake hit Sichuan Province, China on May 12th, 2008, and hundreds of thousands of people have been seriously suffered. At that time, when I was studying in the bright and ...

Application Documents for MSc BA

Luminita — Thu, 08 May 2008 10:51:50 GMT

Hello from Romania

I have a question related to the application documents. I started to work on my admission file and gather all the necessary docs. I saw that it is also needed a copy of my valid passport. The thing is that as far as I know, being a citizen of a EU country, I should be able to travel to other EU countries by using my Identity Card. Is it then ok to send a certified copy of my Identity Card or is it absolutely necessary to obtain a passport?

I can hardly wait to apply ...

I am really very excited about coming to Groningen and i looked over the available courses for international students and i was just delighted.

My question is whether there is any course which i should particularly take, whether i can involve in research if i'm only coming for 1 semester( ...

Studying in Groningen---working in a group

Sammy.Luo — Sat, 03 May 2008 22:46:45 GMT

Group work is one of the most important

issues in the University

of Groningen (RuG).

Teamwork is highly valued, and how to cooperate with people from different

backgrounds is something that you cannot miss!

I have studied in RuG for almost two years, and have worked in lots of groups

with various students. I am going to talk about the two most impressing and

interesting experiences.

The first one is working in an all-Dutch-but-one-Chinese group, and I was the only

one ...

Openlucht Museum in Arnhem

Sarah Straub — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 20:45:36 GMT

Hey!

Probably, you have never heard of the Openlucht Museum in Arnhem before, and that really wouldn't be a shame, because I don't know anybody who has every heard of it. Well, neither have I, until today! The mother of my boyfriend, she's lovely, by the way, suggested to go there with the two of us, since I'm staying at her house at the moment (holidays, jippie) and the male part of our �family� is not at home (Hub, her husband, works in Iran, and Jaap, my boyfriend, currently studies in Brussels). ...

question about MSc International Economics&Business

svilena — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 10:56:46 GMT

Hi guys,

My name is Svilena, I am from Bulgaria and I was recently admitted to the MSc International Economics & Business. I am familiar with the subjects that I am going to study but I would be happy if you could share your opinion about this programme. Do you find it interesting, useful and informative enough? And what about the schedule and the load of the courses? As far as I know there are only three major courses in the first semester but I guess there should be enough practically ...

Around Groningen - Schiermonnikoog

Nora Wigand — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 21:01:39 GMT

Hello!

I just uploaded some pictures to show you what you can do around Groningen. Naturally, there�s not only a lot to see in Groningen itself, but there are also some nice places not far from Groningen. One nice spot to visit is the little island Schiermonnikoog. Some weeks ago I went there with a friend of mine and it was really funny and relaxing. Unfortunately, the weather was not that good, so the pictures are a little bit grey� However, when you want a day off (regardless of the weather), ...

diana_tircomnicu — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:06:13 GMT

Do you like playing games? Well, I'm going to

tell you something about myself: I really do! Mostly, I like to invent my own

and develop them as I go along. Now why don't you play along with me for a bit?

I'm still in the stage of beta-testing, but let's suppose...

Ok then, before we start let me just tell you the rules of the game so the

chances that you get a 'Game Over', 'Mission Aborted' or a blue screen will be

smaller. Now, I'm the programmer and you are the character. Be aware that ...

My two cents of thought...

randy — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 14:00:35 GMT

It's a very windy day today. The wind blows almost everything that stands in front of it. The fact that it is still winter does not help at all because it only adds the chill I feel when I bike or walk outside. I still have about one and a half hour before my meeting with a professor so I decided to just sit down in the cafetaria, sipping my hot chocolate while watching the grass sways as the wind blows....

Then I come to realize how fast time passes. I have been living for almost two years ...

Theater, cinema and others...

Sarah Straub — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 17:24:16 GMT

I wasn't quite sure whether or not to open up a new topic about theater, since it often seems to me that young people are not interested in it at all. However, a lot of students go to the cinema rather frequently and many of them are not as enthousiastic about theater as they are about the newest movie (that's actually why I included cinema in this topic too ;-) ). As a matter of fact, I must admit that I watch movies more often than a play too, but recently I could enthuse two of my friends ...

My very Dutch �Christmas�

Steffen Farny — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 12:55:59 GMT

When you go abroad you might have tons of ideas

what is different in that country compared to yours, but you also believe there

might be some universal events that are celebrated everywhere like New Years

Eve. I believed one of those was Christmas!! � NO ! I was born only a couple

hundreds of kilometres away from here in a country that is often expected to be

similar to the Netherlands.

Maybe because of the language or of their habits! One thing I have learned,

certainly not because ...
