Tilburg University

Reputation is good, particularly within the Netherlands and Europe. Stronger in Finance and Economics than some other business areas. Career services are perceived as somewhat lacking in personalized support and proactive networking opportunities, particularly for international students seeking opportunities outside of the Netherlands. Companies know the name, but students need to be proactive in securing internships and jobs.

International and diverse student body. Academically focused, but with a decent social scene. A collaborative atmosphere is encouraged, though can be competitive at times. Dutch directness is noticeable.
