Building bridges since 1946
In the Netherlands, we understand the importance of bridges. They connect and unite us and make business and trade possible. The thousands of bridges crossing Dutch waters were built by determined entrepreneurs and progressive forerunners. Responsible leaders who knew how to build a sustainable future.
At Nyenrode Business Universiteit, we have been educating enterprising bridge builders for over 70 years.
- People who dare to grow.
- People who understand that theory and practice go hand in hand.
- People who connect.
We believe that a solid foundation can push everyone to great heights. This foundation can be found at Nyenrode, in both Amsterdam and Breukelen. We combine academic theory, practical relevance, and personal development, so you can work on building a successful career.
Whether you are looking for personal or professional growth or your next step, the knowledge of generations of bridge builders can help you in all directions. We are there for each other and consider it our duty to train our students and participants to be sensible and considerate leaders.
