This question was asked by Simon Anholt in an interview with Times Higher Education in January 2021. Simon who? Maybe not a household name, but Anholt is something of a ‘celeb’ within the broad field that stretches from corporate PR and marketing to inter-state public diplomacy and nation branding. More a policy advisor than an academic, and always operating on that interesting borderline between profound foresight and superficial entertainment, he’s been something of an intellectual shape-shifter for more than two decades. So what does he mean here?
“Are you tired of listening to never-ending-success-stories and feel like you might be the only one with certain problems? We, humans, pay so much attention to the best of the best that we don’t know what to do when we’re part of “the rest”. While reading these sentences, did you recognize yourself and thought ‘This is so right! I have a story of a study-experience that not went to plan’. Now is your chance to help these others yourself.”
Are you working or doing a Master’s? Maybe you’re at your dream job, or in a completely different place than you expected to end up in. No matter in what phase of your life you’re in, we’d like to hear about it.

It is hard to meet people during these times: random chats at coffee machines, elevators or desks very rarely occur. To mend this gap a bit, we would like to introduce you to a few people behind the programme, as we do on our Instagram page (follow @ba.internationalstudies). Meet Anne van Someren (32), who is a Student affairs Officer at International Studies and Urban Studies since 2019.
If you are currently working towards your graduation this year, then please note the 1 June deadline. The Online Graduation Form is due before this date. Also, do not forget to upload your thesis in the repository.
