What else does TIAS offer?
Internship
On completion of their Master’s thesis, full-time students are offered the opportunity to do an internship in order to gain work experience in their field. You are responsible for the arrangement of your own internship, but our Career Development team is available to provide support. Of course, you may also find a job right away.
Exchange programs
During the TIAS program you will gain a feel for international corporate environments, both on campus in Utrecht and during your study trip abroad. You can choose to expand your intercultural business experience even further by participating in one of our exchange programs at partner institutions. These exchange programs are intended to broaden your international experience; not to gain additional credits. Our partner institutions are located in some of the most dynamic economic regions worldwide and will leave an indelible mark on your resume.
Student Associations
During the Master in Management you have the opportunity to join a student association for extracurricular activities that provide you with additional professional experience as well as fun with your fellow students. The student associations at TIAS are:
- TIAS Student Consultancy (TSC)
- TIAS for Societal Development (TSD)
- TIAS Women in Business (TWB)
- TIAS Student Association (TSA): TSA is a student-run association that organizes social events for fellow students to celebrate national holidays, exchange cultural traditions and stimulate integration. Within the TSA different subcommittees are formed and assigned to a specific event.
Our full-time Master in Management takes place at our campus in Utrecht, the lively center of the Netherlands. Utrecht’s hundreds of monuments impart a very special ambience to this centuries-old city. Over 25 percent of the Netherlands’ 330,000 students can be found in Utrecht, making for one of the country’s largest student populations. Utrecht is centrally located and a perfect base for the exploration of European culture and other (neighboring) countries.
The Netherlands is justifiably famous for its tolerance of diverse cultures, opinions and lifestyles. This attitude and a proud history in trade and banking have combined to make English a second language, spoken widely and well. Many large multinationals have established headquarters in this flourishing corporate culture. Additionally, the Netherlands has an excellent public transport system.
