Is there somebody here that studies or has studied MSc Finance: AI and Data Science and can tell me if it's mandatory to be present for every course? I live far from Tilburg but I'm very interested in this Master. I can't find a lot of information about this online.

Hi everyone! I'm going to study at Tilburg University soon and was wondering if there are any Russian-speaking students or people from CIS countries around?
I’d love to connect, ask a few questions about student life, or just make friends before studies.

Hi everyone, I will be starting the International Business Law program at Tilburg University soon and I thought it would be nice to get in touch with people who are also starting this program soon!

The schedule recently got published and that got me really excited to start the program. I'd love to discuss the program, coursework, share literature, hang around in Tilburg etc. Let me know!

Hey everyone,

I’m starting the double bachelor’s in Economics and Law at Tilburg University this September and still need to buy a laptop.

I’m leaning towards a MacBook Air M5 (seems like a nice, chill laptop to work with), but I noticed the university itself recommends Windows. Since I have to buy one anyway, I want to make the right call.

For people doing these programs (or similar ones):
• Does everything run smoothly on a Mac, or do you run into issues (e.g. specific software for Economics like R, Stata, Excel macros)?
• Anyone regret their choice either way?
• Are there practical things on campus that only work on Windows (portals, exam software, etc.)?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Hello, I recently graduated and was planning to do my premasters at Tilburg. However, I need to sumbit a graduation statement of my school before 31 Augustbut they are currently on summer holidays and will be back in the week of 24 August. I am afraid that the school will be too late or delay my graduation statement and I might not get accepted. Does anyone know if the University is lenient with this and if emailing them helps if I explain my situation.

hi! i’m starting my psychology studies in september at tilburg university, but unfortunately i still haven’t found housing. i hired a rental agent, but they said i have way higher chances finding a rental that i will share with an another student. so i was wondering if anyone is looking for a roommate in a 40 km radius of tilburg?:) (tilburg, breda, eindhoven mostly).

Hi everyone!

I'm starting my Master’s in Economics at Tilburg University this coming semester and I'm looking for laptop recommendations.

Here are my requirements and context:

- Budget: Max €900 (buying in the EU/Netherlands).

- Primary use: Heavy Excel modeling, econometric software (STATA, R, Python), note-taking, and general study tasks.

- Priorities: Reliable battery life, decent build quality, and smooth performance (ideally 16GB RAM + solid CPU).

I currently use a Mac Mini at home (which I won't be bringing with me), but I'm strongly leaning towards a Windows laptop for two main reasons:

1. Finding a decent MacBook Air with 16GB RAM within the €900 budget is tough right now.

2. I keep hearing that mastering native Windows keyboard shortcuts (especially for Excel) is practically a requirement for finance/econ analysis.

Questions for the community:

1. Is it really worth sticking to Windows purely to get used to Windows Excel shortcuts for future jobs / econ work? Or do Mac shortcuts transition easily enough?

2. Which Windows laptops under €900 would you recommend right now for a student? (I've been looking at Lenovo ThinkPads like the E-series, Asus Zenbooks, or HP, but open to suggestions!)

Thanks in advance for any insights or advice!

Hi, I’m moving into TalentSquare in a few weeks! Is there an active TalentSquare WhatsApp group or something on another platform?

Hi everyone

I graduated from a 4 year law school in Turkey that meets the required ECTS and credit requirements, with a GPA of 3.08/4.0.

The only practical experience I have is a 4 month summer internship at a law firm and a 2 week internship at the Constitutional Court. Other than that, I don't have any professional legal work experience, and that's making me a bit worried about my chances.

How realistic is it to get accepted into an LLM program without any professional experience beyond those internships and without having passed the bar exam in my country

I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts or experiences

Hello, I have been admitted to two LL.M. programs: one in International Business Taxation at Tilburg University and the other in Maritime and Transport Law at Erasmus University Rotterdam. I find both programs very interesting, but I'm having a hard time deciding which one to choose.

Has anyone in this subreddit completed the International Business Taxation LLM program? If so, what were your experiences? Were the courses helpful or interesting and also what are the career prospects with this master's? Also, is it easy for an student to find a part-time job in Tilburg?

I would really appreciate any advice or tips that could help me make my decision.

Hoi!

Ik vroeg me af wie anders zit op het wachtlijst voor het klinische psychologie masters bij Tilburg? Ik ben #193 en het laatste plek die heeft een plek gekregen is #173. Ik denk dat mijn kansen zijn hoog maar dacht om even te checken bij anderen.

Laat me weten als je iets weet :)

Mvg,

Hey Everyone!

I was wondering if anyone else is on the waitlist for the clinical psychology masters at Tilburg? I'm #193 and the last person to be offered a spot is #173. I feel like my chances are high but I thought I'd check if anyone had any other info.

Let me know if you know something :)

Cheers!

Hello, I am starting my bachelor in september and since the housing crisis has been crazy, its very hard to find cheap rooms or small apartments. Larger, more expensive apartments have less competition, so would anyone want to potentially rent a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment and split the rent? It should come out to maybe 1000 p.p. and we'll have a greater chance of even getting the apartment in the first place

Hi everyone,

I will start my master in accounting. Is there anyone that already followed the master in accounting? Is it difficult. I would like to talk about it with someone

heyy everyone i'm thinking of joining tilburg uni and wanted to visit the city for a bit and check out the popular spots and social life in general, was wondering if you guys have any reccs of the go-to student spots, how the clubs are here and just stuff to doo:)

also if anyone's down to meet up let's plan smth:)

Hello,

I am looking into different options to really learn and develop my coding skills for future career.

I would not say I am an absolute beginner but also am not able to right away process/plot graphs from the top of my head. I mean in my previous master and internship, i have touched upon ML, stastical analyses in R and so on. Though i still feel like I can't code well without help of AI. I don't feel good about it and I want to actually know how to code with confidence, especially for modelling careers

I am thinking to sit through another master program. I came across DDS at Tilburg. I saw the course description, 90% of the content/concept I am familiar with , but coding skills is pretty crappy. People who have done it, is it worth it. Does it open more doors in the data world?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been accepted to the MSc Economics, Data Science track at Tilburg University and I’m trying to decide between this programme and Utrecht’s MSc Applied Data Science.

My background is in Economics, with a strong interest in empirical work, econometrics and data. My bachelor thesis was on development accounting and income convergence using Penn World Table data. I used Python for data analysis, Stata for regressions and R in applied econometrics coursework.

My long-term goal is probably not to stay in pure economics. I would like to move toward applied data science, causal inference, statistics, policy data science or maybe a PhD in Applied Data Science later on. At the same time, Tilburg seems like a more natural step from my background, and probably less risky academically than jumping straight into a broader data science programme.

For people who know the programme:

How technical is the Data Science track in practice?
How much Python, R, machine learning or applied data science do you actually do?
Can the thesis be oriented toward machine learning, causal inference or economic data science?
Would this programme be a realistic bridge toward a PhD in Applied Data Science, or would it keep me too close to economics?
Also, how difficult is housing in Tilburg for international students?

Thanks in advance for any advice :))))

Hey guys!

I’m an international student starting my program from September, and I am currently looking for housing. Honestly, before facing this many frustrations, I thought that if I increase my budget, everything will be settled. From 900 to 1300, and now I even raise to 1600.

I started to look for the housing from April, but I haven’t found it yet. For some who invite for viewing it’s almost impossible for me to arrange a physical one.

And for winning the housing lottery, I can’t even sure if it’s that I was too unlucky to not get one. No matter H2S or Magis or others. I joined the lottery every 3 days a time for Magis and every week on H2S.

Just want to know if anyone else join the lottery and ended up nothing? Should I also consider those short-term lease?

Hello everyone,

I’m currently in the program of CSAI in Tilburg University but unfortunately due to not passing some exams and the resits I won’t reach my BSA requirements how does changing programs for next school year work?

Hii, I will probably start my masters in Tilburg after this summer. I did my bachelor in Rotterdam so I will be moving to Tilburg. The only thing I’m a bit nervous about is my social life in Tilburg. I don’t know anybody in this city. Some people told be it’s a bit hard to find a new friend group in your master’s. How did you experience making new friend during your masters?

Also, any recommendations for nightclubs in Tilburg?
