Student services

Hospitality and dedication are the core values of Nyenrode's Facility & Services department. We offer a wide range of services for our students, participants, visitors and staff, facilitating a stimulating environment for education and research.

Housing services

For the Amsterdam location, you can stay at student accommodations called OurDomain, a new housing complex only 15 minutes by subway from the Amsterdam city center. The modern self-contained apartments are designed for bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD students. OurDomain is situated next to a train and metro station, which offers frequent and direct transport links to Amsterdam Central Station, Schiphol Amsterdam Airport, and Utrecht.

For the Breukelen location, you’ll stay in one of the five buildings on campus. The room types vary, such as studios, furnished rooms, and unfurnished rooms with and without kitchens. To ensure you feel at home on campus, we offer a number of facilities to make sure you can live, work, and relax in comfort. Among the facilities at our campus, you’ll find a living room, a student restaurant (Mensa), cubicles for project and group work, a laundromat, an outdoor kitchen for barbecues, and various sports accommodations.

Campus life

  • Both at the Amsterdam and Breukelen locations, Nyenrode provides guaranteed housing for registered students.
  • Nyenrode Amsterdam is located at the historical building ‘De Vijf Keizers’ in the heart of the city alongside one of the main canals (Keizersgracht). This location offers an international focus and stimulates students and businesses to connect. 
  • Nyenrode Breukelen is situated on a historical estate with a thirteenth-century castle at its heart. The location is only 30 minutes from Amsterdam. The campus allows you to fully focus on your student life while becoming an active member of a student association. By living and studying on campus, you will create a network of friends for life.

Sports facilities

Nyenrode has two tennis courts, a rugby and soccer pitch, a sports hall and fitness facilities (accessible with your student card), as well as scenic hiking and jogging tracks through the estate's woodlands. You can join any number of free activities on offer, such as the fitness bootcamp or spinning and boxing classes.

Student clubs

Committees within the association organize a variety of activities, some of them aimed at informing JCV members, some aiming to challenge and others focusing on physical activity.
  • De Nieuwe Compagnie van Verre (NCV), founded in 1947, is both a study as well as a student association with members from the BScBA and MScM program in the Breukelen location. The NCV provides its participants with the possibility to evolve themselves by participating in one or more of the 48 committees including board, event, business, and sports committees.

My graduation was a truly memorable experience...

My graduation was an unforgettable experience. I truly enjoyed the supportive teachers, interactive learning environment, and teamwork opportunities. The program helped me grow academically and personally. While everything was excellent, more career guidance could be added. Overall, it was a highly rewarding and inspiring study experience.

Master in Management

Good university with a lot of qualified teachers, who are very well-willing to guide you to your graduation. Classes are small, which results in knowing all of your classmates very well. This program is very short, however.
