Tilburg University is a thriving university specializing in Social Sciences and Arts & Humanities. Social connection, academic excellence, and a strong campus feeling are at the heart of our education experience. Our green campus offers an attractive base for fostering an international community where students and teachers can inspire and challenge each other. Tilburg University consists of five different schools: Economics & Management, Law, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Humanities and Digital Sciences, and Theology. 

Located on a compact, suburban campus west of the city center, Tilburg is in one of the loveliest parts of the southern Netherlands with its many forests, lakes, dunes and rivers. Tilburg has become a cultural center for young people where students can enjoy restaurants, cafés and historical sites. It’s a true university city, too: with a population of 30,000 students, 1 in 8 people in Tilburg is a student!

Course Description

Tilburg University offers a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate level courses to exchange students. Our incoming exchange students are allowed to take courses from all schools, as long as they meet the prerequisites of the courses at the start of the semester. In some cases, other restrictions or selection criteria may apply (e.g. minimum grade average, motivation to take a course, etc.). These will be mentioned as “conditions apply” on the course webpage.
