Laying its foundations in education in 1946, Nyenrode Business Universiteit has functioned in the teaching and uplifting of students in the business sphere for over 70 years, and counting. The university’s main aim is to ensure that enrolled students earn the necessary base skills to engage with subjects on both a theoretical and practical basis.
The university performs its functions from two separate locations in the Netherlands; one in Amsterdam and one in Breukelen. The Amsterdam location caters especially towards the international connections represented within the city, attempting to connect business with academia on this scale, whilst the Breukelen location is situated in a historic building and emphasises heritage and local interconnectivity.
The Nyenrode University also boasts its own set of accolades and achievements for its teachings in business. The institution has continued to climb positions among European schools for their full-time Master of Business Administration (MBA) courses, and was also ranked the best in the Netherlands and Belgium for their open executive programmes in 2020.
Furthermore, their Bachelor’s in Business Administration (BBA) and Master’s in Management programmes have been highly regarded as top options of study through the study comparator, Keuzegids. The university divides its top quality teaching between expertise centres.
The expertise centres are as follows:
- Centre for Accounting, Auditing and Control
