Tilburg University

Tilburg University was founded in 1927 to meet the demand from local industries in Tilburg and surroundings for a top-quality academic center to educate their future leaders. Now, 95 years later, we have established a strong position as research-university specializing in social sciences and humanities, with a focus on economics, business and entrepreneurship, social and behavioral sciences, law and governance, humanities and digital sciences, and theology. Under the motto of ‘Understanding society’, we develop knowledge, transfer it to others, and bring people from various disciplines and organizations together. In this way, we want to contribute to solving complex social issues. More than 17,000 students of 110 nationalities study at Tilburg University. We train them to become TiU-shaped professionals: responsible and enterprising thinkers, driven by solidarity, a sense of responsibility, and empathy, able to have impact in an innovative way and to give direction to a rapidly changing society.
