Erik van Luxzenburg’s Education

• Universiteit van Amsterdam

  Bsc, Political & Cultural Geography, 2004 — 2006

  After 4 years of working and figuring out what to do with my studies I started to finish my studies in 2004 when working at Metargus Beheer BV. In 2006 I finished the rough version of my thesis on relationships between government and trailer people.

• Universiteit van Amsterdam

  Basis Doctoraal, Human Geography, 1996 — 2000

  I've been selected by the faculty board to join the Pr commission to work on a new promotional tour to bring Geography in the spotlights. Due to my other biz as editor and chief advisor of Geographika Magazine I lacked time to push forward my ideas, thus experiencing the gradual decline of Geography.
  
  One year later I'd been selected by the Faculty students council to found a multi-discipline magazine! The magazine did occurred but never materialised due to lack of funding. At that time the University needed to drastically cut budgets

  Activities and Societies:

  Student Union of Human Geographers (ASVS), Founder and member of the Editing Board of Geographika magazine for human geographers
