Masters Application Deadline is Extended to 31 July 2009

Many people have informed me that they need more time to complete their application because they are still on an internship or finishing their bachelor thesis. I spoke with the fellow members of the Admissions Board and we have decided to extend the application deadline.

If you live outside of the EU and need a visa, the deadline to apply to our one-year full-time MA and MSc in Utrecht is 31 July 2009. Our full-time masters start on 21 September 2009.

Receiving your application before the deadline gives us enough time to:

go through the admissions procedure with you;

apply for a visa for you;

assist you with finding accommodation in Utrecht.

If you live in the EU or come from a country for which you only need to apply for a residence permit to study in The Netherlands (ie Canada, USA, Australia), the deadline is also 31 July 2009. Should there still be places open on the MA and MSc programmes after that date, we will accept applications on a rolling basis.

Non-Dutch applicants need to realise that there is a limited number of housing opportunities in Utrecht. The sooner we receive your application, the more chance we have to find accommodation for you.

I look forward to receiving your application and hearing any questions you might have about the procedure.

Masters Director Gives Negotiation Workshops in Asia

In March our Masters (MA/MSc) Director, Mrs. Hetty van Roozendaal, went to Taiwan, China and Vietnam to give workshops on negotiation skills to Asians interested in our full-time MA, MSc and MBA programmes.

Hetty comments:

'It was a truly wonderful experience to teach this workshop in Taipei, Beijing, and Ho Chi Minh City. Negotiation is of all times and of all cultures. Most participants were well prepared and very active during the workshop. Some of them had even sent their questions and business cards to me beforehand, so that I could focus on their specific needs.

In addition to potential TiasNimbas students, alumni were also present who wished to update their knowledge, to talk to potential students about their experience at TiasNimbas and to enjoy a drink with me after the workshop.

I look forward to going to Asia again this autumn.'

Workshops are an integral part of the curriculum of our Masters programmes:

TiasNimbas Master Students at the Masterbeurs

On 27 and 28 February TiasNimbas participated in the Masterbeurs, a large fair of Master programmes from national and international business schools and universities. This fair was held in our home city, Utrecht, in The Netherlands. The fair allowed people, like yourself, to learn about different Master programmes in and outside of Holland.

At our stand several of our current MA and MSc students joined us to speak to over 100 people about TiasNimbas and our Master programmes. It was a lot of fun and our international group of students did a fantastic job in sharing their experiences at TiasNimbas with the visitors of the fair. From left to right: Pavan Rajavarapu, Chun-Yi (Bow) Lin, Gretchen van der Spek, Tareshma Rana and Ceda Sin.
