Tim

Tim comes from the Netherlands. In the Netherlands he got his bachelors at the University of Twente. Apart from studying, he is interested in start-ups and innovation, and he is also a football fan.

What made you choose KTH?

The main reason why I chose KTH was a combination of the ICT Innovation (EIT digital) programme and the city of Stockholm. I am interested in start-ups and innovation, and I believe that the ICT Innovation programme gives me a good opportunity to get a technical background, but at the same time to also get in touch with companies and start-ups in the Stockholm innovation ecosystem.

What do you like most about KTH?

I like that KTH provides me with lots of opportunities, academic opportunities, but also the facilities to work on my start-up via KTH Innovation.

What are your impressions of Stockholm and Sweden?

Really friendly and open city. Furthermore, I like the nature a lot.

Are there any differences between studying at KTH and your home university?

Yes, I come from a university city that was a bit smaller compared to Stockholm. I like to be treated as a person and not as a number. KTH and Stockholm is a bit larger than my previous student city. However, it also feels personal, and I have the feeling that the contact with the professors is easy-going and not hierarchical.

What would you like to say to students thinking of choosing KTH for master's studies?

KTH is a great university in an amazing city, and this provides you with lots of opportunities. Find your passion, and go for it ! Especially at KTH you will get lots of opportunities to work on your own passions.

Are you taking part in any student activities?

Yes, I am playing football, and I am working on my own start-up called crashNew

Do you have a dream job after graduating from KTH?

Not sure yet, but I am interested in entrepreneurship, politics, and consulting.

What dreams do you have for the future?
