4. A fun social program!
Tilburg University Summer School brings
cultures together. Every year, over 300 students
representing more than 50 nationalities from all
over the world participate. We combine serious
studying with a fun-packed social program. In
this program, there is room for cultural
activities, sports, and relaxation.
We will have a great kick-off party, organize a traditional Dutch games night,
taste food and drinks from all over the world during the International Dinner,
and see how beer is brewed at a local brewery. Besides, we will visit some of the
most interesting cities in the Netherlands, like Amsterdam and The Hague!
Since Tilburg is centrally located in North-Western Europe, Tilburg is a perfect
starting point to discover the Netherlands or Europe by yourself.
Together with your fellow Summer School students, you will have an
unforgettable time and create new, lasting friendships!
Who says studying can’t be fun?!
"The social program was one of the best parts of the Summer School. It
was well-organized, a lot of activities. My favorites? The trip to Amsterdam,
- Daniel Betancourt, Canada
concerts in the park, and the rowing clinic."
