Tilburg University (reviews)

Tilburg is smaller but focused, especially in economics and social sciences. The student community is close, and the city is affordable. It doesn’t have the buzz of Amsterdam, but it’s great for studying seriously.

In September, I started my pre-master’s program at Tilburg University. In the Netherlands, where I earned my bachelor’s degree, passing the entire pre-masters course was still required. The beginning was disorganized and unclear. Too much coursework for a pre-master’s six months. Teachers don’t know the answers to my questions, thus I’ve been having trouble. Considering that you are new to the university, there is a lack of guidance. Teachers speak to you in a very patronizing manner, sometimes even inappropriately.

Tilburg University is one of a kind, surrounded by forest and parks, makes the studying experience unique. My master program in marketing & management was well organized. Even if it was during covid times, they were able to switch to a hybrid form of classes in no time. The classes were specific and with group projects, which made it easier to get to know classmates – always helpful when you are in a new country.

As I said great university. I like every program that I took. Great teachers and university facilities. I would deferent recommend it to people who are studying HCI master tracks. Especially I like new media design track. Hard to find such good track in Netherlands.
