Farewell Dinner International Students
On 14 June 2017, 130 students from 4 different education institutions in Utrecht came together for a Farewell Dinner. Over 100 of them were from Utrecht University.
We said our goodbyes to the leaving students in style. However, at the same time the dinner marked the start of something new, as we welcomed them in our international alumni community.
We look forward to meeting you again in the future, all over the world, in various alumni networks!
UU Scholarship Event
On 2 February 2017, the Graduate School of Geosciences and the Alumni Office hosted a Scholarship Event.
During the event, Utrecht University students and alumni of the Utrecht Excellence Scholarship programme and the recipients of the Holland and the Geosciences scholarships met with each other.
The event was a success and we plan to host more scholarship events each year where scholarship students and alumni from all different fields can connect with each other and learn more about multidisciplinary research that is being conducted at Utrecht University.
International students and alumni mixers
Four times a year, international students meet with each other and with international alumni who are currently working in the Netherlands to discuss the Dutch labour market.
The events are part of the career training programme for international students, offered by the Utrecht University Career Services. The cultural aspects of the Dutch labour market are an important part of this programme.
The alumni share their experiences of the Dutch business culture and give tips and tricks on getting that first job in the Netherlands after graduating as an international student.
International career event - Pilot
On 9 June 2016, an international career event pilot took place at University College Utrecht.
35 international students met with each other and with international alumni who are currently working in the Netherlands to discuss the Dutch labour market.
The pilot was a great success and the international career events will continue.
Don't wait for them to ask you a question, tell them what you want them to know.
