Trial study experience or shadowing at Zuyd

Discover Zuyd
Have you found a course that interests you but want to make sure it’s the right fit? Or are you deciding between two different courses? Many of our courses offer trial study days or shadowing opportunities, allowing you to experience student life firsthand. You’ll attend a few classes, talk to lecturers and students, and get a feel for the atmosphere. So you know that you are making the right choice.
During a trial study day, you will attend lectures, meet teachers and students and experience the campus atmosphere. A shadowing day allows you to spend a day with a current student, following their schedule and attending their classes. Both options give you a realistic insight into what studying at Zuyd in Holland is like.
Trial study and shadowing can take place on campus or online. Check out the courses you are interested in. If no suitable dates are listed, don’t worry! You can also contact the programme. In some cases, you may arrange an individual shadowing experience with a student.
