Discover what the alumni network has to offer
Mentor program
Many of our alumni with work experiences have signed up to assist recent graduates in the search for hands-on knowledge: how do I find a job? How does applying for jobs and salary negotiation work? How do I build a network? Wouldn't it be interesting for you to get in touch with experienced alumni with a similar background?
PhD mentor program
The PhD mentor programoffers several advantages. The program facilitates contact between PhD students in an informal way and focuses on involvement with the Alma mater. On the other hand, it is possible for PhD candidates to support the current generation of PhD candidates. Interested in one or both options?
Coach Café
Looking to extend your network? Sign up for the Coach Café event! Straight from work, on to the drinks. Together with the Friends of Cobbenhagen, the university invites you to an informal networking session in which Top Career Alumni (of all Schools) will talk to you. This will take place several times a year, each time in a different setting in a different part of The Netherlands. We provide the snacks and drinks, all you have to do is sign up. Check the calendar to see when the next coach café will take place.
