"My time at LUMC has been truly rewarding since the day I arrived. My fellow international students from Tanzania and I received a warm welcome and extensive support from the International Office, our course coordinator, course facilitators, as well as our fellow students. The course content, schedules, and learning activities were clearly structured and provided to us immediately after enrollment.

The learning materials were well-organized and written in a simple, easy-to-understand manner. We completed several assignments that stimulated our critical thinking and creativity. Overall, the Half Minor on Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy was eye-opening. Throughout the course, I was introduced to novel and advanced cancer treatment strategies based on immunomodulation. These approaches align closely with precision medicine by offering more individualized therapies with fewer side effects, reduced complications, and improved survival for cancer patients.

We had the opportunity to review groundbreaking and impactful research conducted at LUMC. Additionally, the two clinical visits and patient demonstrations greatly enhanced our understanding of translational research in cancer immunotherapy.

The Erasmus+ ICM grant was essential in supporting our stay in the Netherlands, where the cost of living is relatively high. With this support, we were able to live comfortably.

Despite the overwhelmingly positive experience, we did face a few challenges, particularly when interacting with non-staff members and patients, as Dutch is the primary language of communication. Nevertheless, everything else was excellent, and I greatly value the time I spent at LUMC."
