As the year 2009 has almost come to an end, again a cohort of TiasNimbas students has graduated successfully from our Business School.
On December 12, 2009, we welcomed the TiasNimbas Master-Programme-, Full-time MBA- and Part-Time MBA-, as well as DBA- graduates to their official Graduation Ceremony.
Around 700 guests, family and friends of the graduates were excited to visit this ceremony, which took place in the 13th century Domkerk in Utrecht.
After months of hard work and studying, our “Class of 2009″ could finally hold in hand their well-deserved diplomas, and we as TiasNimbas staff-members were delighted and proud to join them as they celebrated their academic achievements.

My name is Kay Lombardo and I have the pleasure to work with the Tias Nimbas part-time students.
I give them ongoing support with their personal development during their MBA by addressing the questions “Where am I at present?”; “Where do I want to be?” and “How can I achieve my goals?”
Jobs are more complex and often a different set of skills is needed, both on a technical level and a personal level.
Students will acquire technical skills in the MBA courses, but equally as important are personal skills that can be honed through the PDP process. By helping students set personal goals and coaching them on how to attain them, students will be in a better position to contribute to their work and attain satisfaction at the same time.

There are more than 200 MBA-programmes in Germany, but only a few of them are ‘real’ MBA-programmes, which address non-economists, are international oriented and taught in English language.
“It is the missing international focus that is the deficit of German accreditation agencies. They rarely attach importance to internationality”, says Eva Niemann, responsible for the German activities of TiasNimbas Business School.
There are international accreditations like AACSB, Equis and AMBA. They set high standards. Nevertheless, none of the German agencies has the reputation of the organizations standing behind. MBA providers wanting to be visible internationally and to disassociate themselves from dummy MBA-programmes therefore count on international seals.
