After teacher training college, Ilse studied educational science at Leiden University. After earning her master's degree, she started her career in the defence sector. Six years later, she was ready for the next step and heard from a friend about a vacancy at BUas. She enjoyed working as an educationalist for many years, and then in the management team of Leisure & Events. She now uses her knowledge of education to fulfil an inspiring leadership role, with a focus on the quality of education and testing.
BUas is a small university of applied sciences, which makes it real, people-oriented and personal. I love that.
Ilse Kröse
Programme Manager at Leisure & Events
In this role as manager, Ilse supports her team in the dynamic world of education. The BUas academies are increasingly working together, research and education are becoming more and more connected, and there are various BUas-wide projects on which they are collaborating. One example is the Education+ project, in which managers from various academies work together on innovation and flexibility in the study programmes.
Working at BUas
No two days are the same and it is precisely this variety that makes Ilse's work so much fun:
‘Every day I am engaged in my passion, which is education and testing. And every day I learn something new and develop myself further. I work with great people at a beautiful location and together we educate students to prepare them for an ever-changing world. That is rewarding work. BUas is a small university of applied sciences, which makes it real, people-oriented and personal. I love that.’
