 Tilburg University's motto is understanding society and that refers to the legacy of our founding father, Martinus Kobbehaar. The university always had, from its beginning, societal orientation. We educate our students to be able to find the right balance between economic values and societal importance, so whether you study law, management, psychology or economics, we will always consider your discipline as part of a bigger societal picture. For several years now, the university has been voted to be the best specialist university in the country and we combine this with the top international reputation both in research and education. The Tilburg educational approach stresses two elements. On the one hand, academic attitude and on the other hand, the small scale. So let me start explaining the academic attitudes. So when you come to Tilburg, you explore topics with an academic attitude. In other words, you obtain an inquisitive mindset. So how do we do this? Well, we incorporate the latest research insights into our classroom and we combine it with societal discussions. We also invite, typically, guest speakers from practice to share their experiences with our students and last but not least, our students are very active in organizing public debates with well-known political speakers or business people. Secondly, the small scale. You are not a number when you come to Tilburg University. It's a relatively small university with 12,000 students and that allows our faculty and staff to actually know each student. We apply also a mix of plenary sessions in the class with small intensive practice workshops. We have, for those students who need it, an active mentor and coaching program and for those students who want to have more challenges, we offer honors courses and last but not least, we assist students in finding, of course, their dream job. Tilburg University stresses international aspects in its entire curriculum. First, in all our bachelor programs, we build in an international mobility window that enables our students to visit one of our exchange partners, one of our 200 exchange partners in the world and, of course, students from these exchange partners visit the university here. Secondly, we have many international faculty members who share their international experiences and education with our students and all the courses that we offer in Tilburg are also offered in English. Last but not least, we have an important tie with international renowned companies since we are located in the brainport region of the country and companies such as Philips, ASML, Fuji and many new ventures offer internships and also job opportunities for our students. I started working at Tilburg University about nine years ago and the first thing that amazed me was the beauty of the green campus and the amazing sports facilities. It provides the perfect setting for great academic experience. The lively city of Tilburg is within biking distance from the campus and reaching cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Brussels is really easy because of the great train connections and nice highways. It's not surprising that Tilburg is voted as the top logistic center in the country. The other element that strikes me is the international character of the university so when you walk around the campus you immediately hear different languages you are confronted with many different cultures and all the services provided are bilingual. International students get special welcome when they arrive. Our campus facilities are simply amazing. You have different cuisines and different locations so whether you are vegetarian or prefer Asian food you have plenty of choice on our campus and don't forget that the city of Tilburg is really close so if you want to have the real city experience then there is definitely not a problem there. Our newly remodeled library is open every day from eight in the morning till midnight. Coming to Tilburg University to follow a summer school is a great international experience. Every year we have over 300 students with 50 nationalities over the whole world coming to Tilburg University to follow a summer school. It is a great way to experience the culture and academic climate at our university. We combine a great international study experience with also a fun social program. It is also a way to learn more about the Netherlands as a multicultural society in the heart of Europe. Our summer schools are linked to our core competence at the university. The latest research findings are combined with practical experiences so often the format is that you have a morning lecture on a topic that is followed by an afternoon practical case workout. The format varies between one and four weeks and you obtain educational credits for this.
