Dutch scholarships for Chinese Talent

April 12, 2007

    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."
