Student party SAM
Student party SAM is the oldest student party of Tilburg university. Our desire is to improve the studyclimate at Tilburg university to a point where all students can fulfill their ambitions.
The people behind SAM
We believe Tilburg University students are ambitious during their student life. Whether it is inside and/or outside the curriculum, students want to fulfill their ambitions and maximize their student time. We will ensure that all Tilburg University students get the opportunities to achieve their goals.
Four pillars
Quality of Education
SAM strives for excellent education at Tilburg University. Therefore, SAM focuses on the following topics: Excellent Teachers, the Quality of your Degree, Digitization, Soft Skills and the Innovation of Education.
Student Facilities
SAM aims for excellent student facilities. This forms the foundation for students to fulfill their ambitions. SAM focuses on four types of facilities: Study Facilities, Sports Facilities, Student Housing and Facilities for Student Well-Being.
Labor Market
SAM believes that all students should be well-prepared for their future employment. This means that education programs should align with the requirements of the labor market. Furthermore, students should have sufficient possibilities to orient themselves for their future career, for example, by doing an internship.
Personal Development
SAM believes that extracurricular activities such as honours programs and an active student life contributes significantly to the personal development of students. SAM ensures that Tilburg University values these activities properly and stimulates students to develop themselves in their own way.
