Exchange experience of student Bastiaan Nabben
"As a European, I always wanted to discover a culture that was completely different from mine. I wanted to experience a big 'culture shock'. Waseda University, located in Tokyo, was able to make this happen. My exchange offered a unique view on the amazing, open, friendly, crazy, but respectful culture of Japan. You will never have the same experience as a tourist. It is a privilege to be in QTEM during your exchange, you are connected to many academic and corporate partners. Explore as much as you can and expand your network. QTEM offers you everything that is needed for your future, make the most out of it." - Bastiaan Nabben
