Tilburg

The City of Tilburg

Tilburg is a city of education with a long tradition that goes back to the 19th century. In the past decades, the sector of education has grown enormously in Tilburg, and this has had its effect on the city. Tilburg is a small university city that deserves to be discovered. Students who go and explore the city will be surprised to find much more than they expected. Tilburg invites students to play a role for the city and society, also after their studies. Tilburg wants to be a city where students like to settle, and where they manifest themselves in an active and visible way. A city where entrepreneurship among students flourishes, and where graduates can find a suitable job.

Tilburg is a cultural city buzzing with art initiatives and festivals. Fontys School of Fine and Performing Arts (in Dutch 'Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten', FHK) works closely together with the cultural institutions in Tilburg:
- Theatre De NWE Vorst
- Theatres Tilburg
- Museum De Pont
- Paradox
- Filmfoyer
- Audax Textiles Museum and
- 013 Pop Centre

What is special about Tilburg is the atmosphere of creativity, innovation and grit. The key words in everything that is organised by and for students are: meeting, developing, relaxing and undertaking.
