BREUKELEN, The Netherlands, April 12 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Nyenrode Business Universiteit, one of the oldest and most prestigious business schools in Europe, is exploring ways to attract more Chinese management talents to its picturesque campus in the Netherlands. The university is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its international MBA program by providing Chinese citizens an opportunity to apply for one of the 25 scholarships, created especially for the 2007-2008 International MBA program. In addition, Nyenrode is pleased to offer the Randstad Beheer Scholarship exclusively for Chinese Talent, worth 10,000 euros (around US$13,200).
To win a scholarship, potential students must meet specific criteria, such as writing a business plan or giving a presentation on entrepreneurship. All of the scholarships provide the winners with a personal coach to guide them throughout their intensive MBA studies.
It is Nyenrode's ambition to keep the MBA classes as diverse as possible, thus enhancing the international nature of the alumni network. Kai Jin, a Chinese Nyenrode alumnus, had Nyenrode recommended by his colleagues at Sara Lee. The university's good international student population was very important for him to decide to join this International MBA program. Kai Jin particularly appreciated the introduction to the program: "We were given team-building exercises, and the trainers paid a lot of attention to things like self-awareness. It's important to know your own personality."
