Linda tells about the programme
”I have always been passionate about the travel and leisure industry, and this study programme gave me the opportunity to discover academic insights in one programme. In this way, I learned that leisure has a major influence on the entire economy; this knowledge is something that is now very useful to me at Transavia, where I am working as a data analyst. The major asset of the programme is its small scale. You have good contact with students and lecturers and everyone is willing to help each other. I found out that my main areas of interest are the economic side of the sector and the marketing aspects. I recommend everyone to do a placement: it really helps you to explore the leisure industry from different perspectives!”
