Nyenrode Business University has two campuses in the Netherlands: one in Amsterdam and another in Breukelen, a smaller town lying between Amsterdam and Utrecht. While the Amsterdam campus is centrally located in one of the liveliest cities in Europe, the tranquil Breukelen campus is situated in the grounds of a 13th-century castle – but still a short distance away from the capital city.
The Amsterdam campus is equipped with modern study facilities, a business lounge, and the Nyenrode Incubator. The Breukelen campus has conference rooms and classrooms, a library, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, two restaurants, two hotels, and three bars.
The Netherlands is an enduringly popular destination for international students, with affordable study costs and living expenses, a competitive economy, plenty of post-graduate job opportunities, and a high standard of living.
Nyenrode Business University’s Master of Science in Management is a full-time, 16-month program offered in both Amsterdam and Breukelen. Designed for candidates with 0-3 years of work experience, the program combines business knowledge with practical learnings and personal development opportunities.
The first four months of the program is the pre-Master component, a foundational course designed to prepare incoming students for the 12-month master’s program. Students then proceed to the compulsory modules, followed by one of three tracks: Digital Business & Innovation, Financial Management, or Global Business. The first two tracks take place at the Breukelen campus while the latter takes place in Amsterdam. Before concluding with an individual thesis, the program includes a week-long Global Immersion Module where students visit companies abroad.
Nyenrode Business University is accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), as well as by NVAO, the Accreditation Organization of the Netherlands and Flanders.
