TSM Business School
TSM Business School was founded in 1987 and is the post management graduate institute of the University of Twente, the Netherlands. We are specialised in the multi-disciplinary field of linking technology with business management. TSM Business School supports companies in acquiring and strengthening organisational requirements for knowledge based competition: innovation, leadership, technological competence, entrepreneurial attitude, and learning ability.
Master of Business Administration (Only in Dutch)
Our Full-time MBA Programme is characterised by TSM's unique approach to linking management theory with practice, of which the High-Tech Marketing Project, which forms part of the curriculum of the programme, is a good example. During this intensive project, students will co-operate with managers in order to obtain a competitive solution for a management issue in a company. Furthermore the programme includes a 6-month practical in-company assignment, which is conducted after the theoretical year.
The TSM Full-time MBA Programme has a strong international orientation, which is reflected among others by every year's participants and alumni. In addition to the traditional subjects, the Full-time MBA Programme focuses on individual development. For example, students spend about one third of their curriculum, training their interpersonal and leadership skills. For this reason, TSM Business School works with small student groups in order to be able to provide the students with personal coaching and guidance.
The programme is conducted at the campus of the University of Twente, the Netherlands, which occupies a beautiful site amid the fields and woodlands of the former Drienerlo country estate. The campus services include among others excellent sporting amenities, restaurants, pubs, shops, libraries and a medical centre.
The campus is located in Enschede. Enschede is a town in the east of The Netherlands.
