What the experts say about business in the Netherlands

    Bregje Keijsers says:

    The practical approach of our business program is unique. Students work on projects and assignments retrieved from the business field which gives them a strong advantage compared to students who study business in other countries, mostly with a more theoretical approach. The practical approach is also shown by the two internships that students do in international companies.

    The quality of education in the Netherlands is high and tuition fees are accessible. In addition, although English is not the first language, students can manage everything with English so do not need to speak the local language. Last but not least, there is a large student community in every larger city in the Netherlands, so students will not be alone at all.

    Businesses are going global and they need professionals who understand the challenges of internationally operating organizations. Student's career prospects with a business degree from the Netherlands include working at any international company, as a business development manager, marketing manager, or an import/export manager.
