The next steps in your career can be immersive. That's why we offer a comprehensive package of services to help you succeed. With 1-on-1 career coaching, workshops and network events, you will be able to discover which career step fits your talents and ambitions. MBA candidates who use the services of our Executive Career & Alumni Team are fully prepared to enter the Dutch job market. From data of the last three cohorts*, approximately 70% of the alumni found a job before or within one month after graduation.

  • Network- and alumni events

    We offer you access to a broad business and alumni network to facilitate valuable networking opportunities (e.g. Annual Business Networking Event, company visits, and alumni drinks). Examples of companies at past events: Accenture, Deloitte, Booking.com, Uber, ABN AMRO, ING and sustainable start-ups such as FUL Foods and Soilmates. A great way to meet new people and explore new business opportunities.  

    We view our alumni as a great source of inspiration for our current students, and therefore we regularly invite our alumni at the university to share about their career journeys and offer mentorship.
