Study Tour (ST)
Study Tour 2021 - Haarlem, Groningen, Maastricht and Utrecht
This is our new version of the former international summer Study Tour!
Due to COVID, it will be a "local" version of what used to be the International Study Tour in the summer. We have also combined the best aspects of the usual Netherlands Domestic Tour and the European Business Tour that we missed this year.
This will be an awesome 7-day road trip from July 9th to July 15th. Of course we will work together on a Case Study where you will earn €1250 for the cost of your trip. So the final cost of the trip is only €200!

Study Tour 2015 - Hong Kong and Tokyo
The main tour on 2015 was a complete success! 24 students were able to live and explore these city's cultures, as well as business practices. The program was a full one! In HK students visited LangdonSeah to learn about the 3rd runway project, KLM & Air France Cargo, Hong Kong International Terminals and the XRL building site for the new high speed train terminal to mainland China. The Bid Buddha, Victoria Peak, some beach time and even horse racing completed the week in HK.
Tokyo started off with the famous capsule hotels and continued to Kofu, in spite of a typhoon. There a great company visit to Yokogawa awaited. During the weekend some were brave enough to climb Mt. Fuji while others got to know the city. After all, these were the only free days in Tokyo. Monday kicked off with the visit to Nissan, a production line tour and even a test drive of a Nissan Leaf. The final two days were filled with a workshop at the University of Tokyo and another one at JR East where the focus was on railway R&D.
We would like to thank the organizing committee for a flawless execution, the attending professor Pieter Schrijnen and his wife Truus, all sponsoring partners and of course, each one of the attending students, who through their good attitude and open-mindedness made the tour a success!
