University-industry collaboration is a pivotal force driving innovation and progress by combining academic expertise with practical industry goals. This strategic alliance provides businesses with access to cutting-edge research and insights, technology, and a pool of talented individuals among students and faculty.

Hence, we are keen to invite professionals to our business school through different activities such as being a speaker at different events, providing a guest lecture to share how theory has been applied by organizations or faciliate company visits for students to get a feel of what is happening in the business world. Next to that, case studies are sometimes provided by organizations to get innovative ideas from the next generation of business leaders.

We value career development activities throughout the curriculum. Your business experiences are valuable to our students. A mandatory part of our bachelor’s degree programmes is an internship and a research graduation assignment.

These in-company-training not only gives our students first hand work experience in international business, but also adds value for you as these students bring new ideas and labor force with a thorough applied sciences background.
