TIAS Business School is once again among the absolute top institutions in the Netherlands. In the Keuzegids Masters 2026, three of its master’s programs received the designation excellent, the highest possible rating.
This places TIAS in a highly select group: of more than 1,281 master’s programs in the Netherlands, only 16 received this distinction. This means that TIAS is responsible for nearly 20% of all excellent master's programs.
The following programs achieved the maximum score:
High ratings for faculty, career preparation, and atmosphere
The excellent ratings are based on participants’ evaluations. In the Keuzegids Masters, students assess their master’s program on five themes: content, faculty, assessment, career preparation, and atmosphere.
TIAS stands out across the board. Six master’s programs received an excellent score for career preparation and faculty. In the category of atmosphere, seven programs earned the highest possible rating.
Jenke ter Horst, Dean & Director of TIAS, is proud of the results. “Recognition from our own participants may well be the greatest compliment you can receive. We strive for top quality, and these high scores show that we deliver on that ambition. Our programs focus on strategic leadership in a rapidly changing world. They are intensive, personal, and strongly connected to practice. This enables participants to grow into leaders who make an impact, within their organizations and in society.”
Young master’s program immediately rated excellent
A particularly notable achievement is the rating awarded to the Master Controlling program. Launched in November 2023, the program has already received the excellent designation.
Ter Horst: “For a young program to earn this recognition so quickly is a tremendous achievement by our entire team. It confirms that TIAS not only excels in executive education, but also supports professionals at other stages of their careers in taking the next step in their development.”
