business world. Our students are ambitious – a quality that is highly valued by the organizations which employ them.
Studying at Nyenrode and becoming part of the Nyenrode network enables our students to make significant headway
in their careers.

Lifelong Learning
At Nyenrode we believe in the importance of continual development: of taking responsibility for moving to the next level
again and again. We call this lifelong learning.

Nyenrode will give you the opportunity to continue to broaden your knowledge, and develop your talents and your
­personality. So, once you have completed a degree program here, you will be more than welcome to come back and
take part in our executive education courses – practical programs with a strong focus on personal development and the
­real-world applicability of what you learn – like many others before you.

If you think that you can excel in a high-pressure environment, if you

know that you will stand tall, no matter what the circumstances, and if
you have the guts to take on this challenge, then Nyenrode is the place for
you. For your whole life.

A campus with a history
Our university campus is situated in Breukelen. It houses the university buildings and provides accommodation for the
full-time students. In the thirteenth century an imposing castle was built on this beautiful site along the River Vecht,
which was strategically located for both defense and trade during the Middle Ages. Both the estate and the castle have
a history going back more than seven centuries: a history of knights, merchants, and stewards. To this day, these three
groups represent our university’s core values: Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Stewardship.

Breukelen is situated between Utrecht and Amsterdam, and can be easily reached by motorway or by
public transport.

The business sector as our lifeblood

After World War II, a group of captains of industry had a dream: the Dutch economy needed to flourish once more,
and this required a new form of education for practical and enterprising individuals with international ambitions.
The captains of industry themselves became the founders of a new education program, which was launched at Nyenrode
in 1946.

This link to the business sector is still our lifeblood: we are a university that was founded for and by the business
community. This means that, besides knowledge, practical relevance is another important factor in everything we do in
the field of education and research.

 roducing a new generation of world citizens and

P
responsible leaders
A Nyenrode course is a reward for life. During your studies you will develop skills that will help you find your future place
in society, as a world citizen and a leader: as someone who takes responsibility for their own actions and who is aware of
the world around them. You will be able to make a difference in issues that we are not yet able to foresee.

International orientation
Since the day it was first founded, Nyenrode has viewed the world as its playing field. As such, our university has a
distinct international orientation with students and lecturers from all corners of the world.

Network for life

Nyenrode is more than just a university. Nyenrode is also a community, a tightly-knit network of people who retain a
lifelong sense of connection to each other and to Nyenrode. Many of them stay in touch with their classmates and with
Nyenrode for the rest of their lives, for example through the active alumni community. Furthermore, our alumni actively
contribute to the programs, provide coaching for our students, and become fundraisers to ensure that Nyenrode can
continue to attract the best students.
Scholarships
We are always on the lookout for the best
students, and are willing to invest in talent. That
is why both Nyenrode Business Universiteit and
our alumni provide various scholarships to those
who have the potential to complete a study
program at Nyenrode successfully but lack the
financial means to do so.

 esearch that is relevant

R
to business and society
At Nyenrode we conduct both fundamental and
practical research. Research is often carried out
by teams consisting of academics from different
disciplines. Nyenrode’s strong ties with the
business community guarantee that relevance for
business and society is always at the forefront.

 xperience it for
E
yourself
We can talk about our programs as much as we
like, but nothing beats experiencing life on the
Nyenrode campus for yourself. See what it is
like to study at Nyenrode, and decide whether
Nyenrode is what you are looking for. Come, for
example, to one of the campus weekends; or
take part in a business game, immersion session,
or sample lecture; or attend an open day. At all of
these events you will meet students, alumni and
lecturers who can tell you everything you want
to know about Nyenrode and studying here. You
may also contact us, of course, for a personal
interview. You are always welcome!
Rankings and accreditations
Both our university and our programs consistently score highly in the domestic and international rankings of business
schools.

Nyenrode Business Universiteit is accredited by Equis/EFMD, the leading international accreditation body for business
schools.

Our bachelor’s and master’s programs have been accredited by the Dutch Ministry of Education (through its national
NVAO accreditation program). The Accountancy programs are also accredited by the Commissie Eindtermen
Accountantsopleiding (CEA) and the Executive Master of Finance & Control program is also accredited by the Vereniging
van Registercontrollers (VRC). Furthermore, our MBAs and MSc in Management programs have been accredited by the
Association of MBAs (AMBA).

The Keuzegids Masters 2016, published by the Centrum Hoger Onderwijs Informatie, an organization which evaluates the
quality of education in the Netherlands, has once again ranked Nyenrode’s Master of Science in Management, our Master
of Science in Controlling and our Master of Science in Accountancy as the best in the Netherlands. The new Master of
Fiscal Law, which began in 2014, was voted the best part-time program in this field.

The Financial Times (2015) ranks us as the number 1 business school in The Netherlands in terms of open programs in
executive education.

In the Nationale Studenten Enquête 2015 (Dutch National Students Survey 2015), Nyenrode Business Universiteit was
ranked no.1 university in The Netherlands.
