The people behind SAM
We believe Tilburg University students are ambitious during their student life. Whether it is inside and/or outside the curriculum, students want to fulfill their ambitions and maximize their student time. We will ensure that all Tilburg University students get the opportunities to achieve their goals.
Three pillars
Quality of Education
Our mission states that all students should get the chance to grow and nourish their talents. This can be achieved through excellent education at Tilburg University. Therefore, SAM focuses on the following topics: Excellent teachers, the quality of your degree, labour market orientation, digitization, soft skills, and the innovation of education.
Personal Development & Wellbeing
SAM believes that extracurricular activities such as sports, study and student associations, honours programs and an active student life contribute significantly to personal development. SAM ensures that Tilburg University values these activities properly and stimulates students to develop themselves in their own way. To fulfil your potential as a student it is necessary that there is a foundation of feeling included, feeling safe and feeling mentally healthy.
Facilities & Housing
SAM aims for excellent student facilities. This forms the foundation for students to fulfill their ambitions. SAM focuses on four types of facilities: Study Facilities, Sports Facilities, Student Housing and Facilities for Student Well-Being.
