I want to pursue my masters in NL and I've applied to 2 WO universities ( twente and tilburg ), sadly got rejected from both due to my bachelors not being equivalent to the course I selected. So now I'm considering HBO universities where I think I might have a better chance of getting accepted.
Fontys/avans, THUAS are my target and prolly saxion as a backup. These are my options, and even WITTENBORG ( I know, I've heard pretty negative things about them ).
My question is.. do Dutch employers/recruiters really care that much about the University branding ( WO, HBO ) or do they also care about how good I have performed during my masters there and what all I learned. I know this question might sound absurd, but I kind of want to know how big of an advantage would top Tier universities give me and how much competitive would it get for me in the future ( If I plan to go ahead with these universities ).
I don't want to miss this intake year so I'm trying my best to start my career this September but I just wanted to know if I get into an okayish applied university but I do my best, could I land a proper/decent job if I actually work hard for it? or does me holding a HBO degree be it from a public/private uni, would it be an instant rejection at a interview level itself?
Edit : The masters degree I am pursuing is Data Driven Business or a similar programme which would allow me to enter the job market as a "Business/Data Analyst".
