Tilburg University (KUB)

sometimes it says that the course will be open to everybody but later it might turn out that it is closed for international students (no place for us). in general the level of English is high. I really liked International Management, Comparative Management, International financial management

the access to all English tought courses for international students might be better

I took classes with Professor Ype Poortinga. If you are interested in Cross-cultural issues, he is an exceptional professor in this field. The Dutch language class, however, was not very well managed and did not motivate the stuents to learn Dutch.

Improve the Dutch language course.

nope, the way teacher teach in the netherland is really good, there is not many courses hours but students have to prepare every class before, to know what is about and to read and think about it which is good.

Economics of the European Union is great and it really made contributions. Business Controls, it would be better, maybe it is because of the insufficiency of the lecturers.

none

No, they were fine, although a little straightforward. Not analytical enough.

As far as an exchange goes- the workload was a perfect balance- ie, not a great deal!

For the IEF program some teachers just dont teach rather they make you read their papers and present on them. Also there is very little assistance for the International student in terms of career or internship placement. Most things are geared towards the dutch students only.

Tilburg Economics program gets its #1 ranking from the # of professors who publish NOT from the quality of the program or its professors. Many of them cannot communicate a positive teaching environment or are partial to dutch speaking students. In some classes even the Professors student assistants are allowed to take their bosses class. Its no suprise that they are graded very high by the professor.
