Universiteit Tilburg

Established in 1927 as Roomsch Katholieke Handelshoogeschool (Roman Catholic Business School), Universiteit Tilburg has grown into a thriving, medium-sized, multi-disciplinary university oriented towards the humanities and social sciences.

Tilburg University is an inclusive and engaged academic community dedicated to sustainable broad prosperity for all. It cultivates its culture of cooperation and co-creation locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.

Tilburg is a lesser-known, cosy student city with more affordable living costs than bigger Dutch cities, and brilliant transport links to cities like Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris.
