"It's really nice to see where students from all disciplines of the university enroll. For me, working with future architects, app builders, marketers and educators is really inspiring!"

Hogeschool van Amsterdam

"When students think about market research, they soon think of surveys. But after a guest lecture from someone in practice, they know it actually comes to understand what customers want and how you get to know this; that touches them."

Universiteit van Amsterdam
