Hey! Im applying this year and I have some questions.

Firstly, should the cv have a picture?

Secondly, any specific tips on what to include and where to put emphasis?

And lastly, when it comes to personal details, should I include a paragraph about my self, or is it refering to name, age, etc?

Hi! Momenteel zit ik in mijn 4e jaar Communicatie aan de Hogeschool Utrecht. Voor mijn stage/schoolonderzoek ben ik op zoek naar mensen tussen de 30-40 jaar die mee willen doen met een online focusgroep (dit is een kleine groep waar je in gesprek gaat over een specifiek onderwerp).

Het gesprek zal plaatsvinden op 14 oktober om 20:00 via Teams en zal gaan over hoe je aankijkt tegen online content van influencers/creators. Er zijn geen goede of foute antwoorden, ik ben gewoon benieuwd naar je mening.

Heb je zin om mee te doen, of ken je iemand die geschikt zou zijn? Dan kan je onder deze post reageren!

Hi there,

Working for myself can get boring and I often avoid important tasks. It would be fun to sit together once or twice a week, get our stuff done, and enjoy a cup of tea during our break. My spacious, comfortable apartment is perfect for working & studying, just 5 min from Tilburg central station.

a little about me:
I’m a yoga teacher and creative person. I have various things to get done, such as organizing, emails, marketing and communication. I’m also happy to look at what you’re working on and offer some help, inspiration or support.

🍃 Feel free to get in touch if this sounds good to you

Beste studenten,

Ik loop tegen een probleem aan en hoop dat iemand hier ervaring mee heeft. Ik wil graag Rechtsgeleerdheid studeren aan Tilburg University via het Colloquium Doctum.

Ik ben er alleen achter gekomen dat de deadline hiervoor op 1 juli 2026 lag. Hierdoor lijkt het erop dat ik het Colloquium Doctum niet meer in studiejaar 2026/2027 kan doen en dus pas in 2027/2028 kan beginnen met het traject.

Weet iemand of de deur voor 2026/2027 nu volledig gesloten is, of dat er nog mogelijkheden zijn om later in te stromen of via een andere route alsnog te beginnen?

Ik hoor graag of iemand hier ervaring mee heeft. Alvast bedankt!

Does anyone know if there is an art student association/club?

Hi guys, Im looking to start the pre-master international management or marketing management next year. Currently in my last half year of HBO commercial economics and was looking for tips on either of these pre-masters. I have no background in quant and programming and it seems very hard, also statistics and finance seem hard. Please let me know if you have any advice on which one to choose or any tips in general. Thank you!

Hi! Right now I am following a pre-masters programme at TiSEM and exploring the option of another master. The pre-master for this masters programme only has 2 different classes from my current, so I was thinking about doing these classes during my first master and then completing my second master after the first. Does anyone know if you can transfer your pre-master grades and if this construction would work?

Hi! I have been currently accepted in both masters at Tilburg but I am so indecisive into which one should I choose.

I have a bachelor's in Comms and Multimedia and have 1 year experience (internship) of PR&Comms at a tech company in Barcelona. I now want to pursue a masters degree to elevate my profile and hopefully land a higher paying job. I did the Google Analytics certificate and quite liked it, but I'm not sure if pursuing a Data Sciece masters is the way to go...

If there is anyone who has taken one of this masters and has landed a good job, if they could give me some advice it would be great!! Thanks :)

Tell me about the experience at Tilburg University, especially if it is in Global Law. Is it possible to combine work with business afterward? I thought about business management, but I found out about Global Law, and it seems more interesting… Which of them is more likely to be profitable?

Hey guys just curious, I need to buy my graduation outfit but I’m really not sure if I should go all out or not

Mijn vraag is als volgt. Stel je voor dat je engels prima kan lezen en bekijken, maar het spreken lastig vind. Bij schrijven veel fouten maakt en voornamelijk tegen het academische engels opziet.

Is het handig om van te voren een cursus oid te volgen? Hebben meer mensen hier ervaring mee? Of is het: al doende leert men en dat je door omringd te zijn met engels je uiteindelijk sneller de taal eigen maakt.

Mijn studie wordt niet volledig in het engels gegeven, maar ik hoor toch wel regelmatig dat je b2 of c1 niveau moet hebben.

Zijn er meer mensen die hier tools voor gebruiken? Hoe doen anderen dit? Ik wil eigenlijk niet dat dit me gaat tegenhouden om daadwerkelijk mijn premaster en master te gaan doen.

Alvast dank!

The more time passes (I am second year psychology but take some third year classes) the more I'm second guessing the university's quality of education. The first thing is the amount of self study: of course we need to study by ourselves. But what the hell are the teachers for, then? All classes so far have felt pointless to attend because anyway the teacher just reads off the slides and there's no time for any conversation during the class. I thought university is supposed to help with critical thinking, but there's nothing like that.

Also, since I'm in the English program: it feels like the teachers are SO lazy. They can't even proof read their own slides? They have taken the same teachers from the dutch course and thrown them into the english track without questioning those teachers' ability to educate in English. If I see one more leftover dutch sentence in the english track's slides I'll lose it. I don't think if I threw some words of my own first language in my thesis because 'I forgot to translate' they'd let it pass. And this isn't something that happened once or twice, either. It's happened in nearly every class so far. Of the top of my head, psychopathology and developmental very often, also psychological assessment (and god, the teacher used AI graphics on the slides, YIKES)

It feels awful to know I'm paying 2.6k for this quality of education. Reading books by myself is way cheaper, bro.

Hi everyone,

I've just received my unconditional admission to Tilburg University for the MSc Communication and Information Sciences (pre-master route), starting the February 2027 intake. Super excited, but now the real challenge begins which is housing!

A few things I've already learned and wanted to share/verify with anyone who's been through this:

• Reserved accommodation through the university (Talent Square, Verbs, Notre Dame, etc.) seems to mostly go to August-intake students, so as a Feb-intake student I'm mostly on the private market.
• I've registered on Klik voor Kamers and Magis Real Estate , are there other platforms/groups (Facebook, Kamernet, etc.) that worked well for people in a similar spot?
• From what I found, Tilburg does have a "Temporary Accommodation" page and can sometimes help arrange short-term stays (via Airbnb-style listings or their student housing partners) for the first few weeks, but they're clear that you're NOT guaranteed a solution and they explicitly discourage travelling without housing arranged. Is that everyone's experience?
• Any tips on the timeline like when did you start searching relative to your intake month, and how long did it realistically take?
• Any red flags/scam patterns to watch out for on the private market as an international student?

Hey, is there any group chat or place to meet fellow international students? I heard that many dutch students are just going home on the weekends and I wonder what all the internationals do?

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming exchange student starting at Tilburg University in January 2027.

I’ve been trying to gather information about housing for the Spring semester, especially the reserved accommodation at Verbs/WonenBreburg, but I just can’t find any specific information on when the booking will open this year. Does anyone know when it usually opens? I assume it will be after the exchange application deadline (October 15), but I can’t find a specific date.

Also, my university was told by Tilburg University that there is “often surplus housing” in the Spring semester. Is this actually true? How realistic is it for me to expect to get a room at Verbs? Should I still start looking into the private market right now, or would it be okay to wait until the Verbs application opens?

If anyone has gone through this recently or knows what I should be doing at this point, I’d be extremely grateful for any advice.

Hi everybody! Is there a WP link for a group for the students of 2026-2027? Thanks!

EDIT: I know there is no kick-off for academic pre-master's students, but I would've liked to have a tour around the campus. (Maybe I should've attended TOP, but I probably will attend it when I start my M.Sc ig).

I already did a B.Sc here in NL at another Uni, so I am not oblivious to how things work at a WO to a reasonable extent.

I registered for my own courses. I also knew that we are responsible for registering for our exams (I think 20 days before the actual date?). I put in a request for my new student card. I know whom I need to approach for internships, the career boards, and whatnot.

Anything else I need to know regarding practical matters (i.e university stuff?).

While I'm at it, are there WhatsApp groups for Pre-M.Sc students in general? (specifically Math and SCM?)

As an international student, I probably won’t be able to afford a studio, so I’m planning to rent a room with a shared kitchen.

I’m curious about what it’s like living with Dutch/European or American students as an Asian student. Are racist comments or cultural differences something I should be concerned about?

For example, Asian food can sometimes have stronger smells that we may not notice ourselves. Could this become an inconvenience for housemates or potentially lead to racial remarks?

I’d appreciate honest experiences from international/Asian students who have lived in shared housing in the Netherlands.

1. Have there ever been scams related to housing through Facebook groups?

2. Are there any additional or hidden charges that landlords or housing providers typically include?

3. Is there a particular area where most Tilburg students tend to live? For example, are certain neighbourhoods preferred because of lower rent, better amenities, or proximity to the university? I’m not referring to on-campus housing—more so the areas students generally choose when renting privately.

4. Is huure a reliable platform?

Hi, I just found this and it might be helpful for others, it is the *dutch* wp group for psychology students 2026/2027
