Why Tilburg?
Tilburg is the seventh-largest city in the Netherlands, with a population of over 200,000, representing many nationalities. A student population of over 27,000 makes Tilburg one of the Netherlands' principal educational centres.
The city has a great deal to offer for young and old, student and visitor alike: a thriving café and restaurant culture, sports facilities, art films, world-class pop music at pop centre 013, classical music at the Tilburg Concert Hall and great contemporary artwork at the De Pont Museum. Combined with numerous festivals such as the famous Tilburg Fair and Carnival, the Festival Mundial, the Tilburg Ten Miles and the Tilburg Culinair, you will enjoy exciting and challenging student life.
There is also much to see and do just outside the city. It is just a short train ride to cities like Amsterdam or The Hague. And European capitals like Brussels, Paris and London are also within easy reach, since Eindhoven Airport, Schiphol Amsterdam Airport, and Zaventem Brussels Airport are nearby.
