Our Mission, Core Values & History


Opening a World of Opportunities

Webster University's mission in the Netherlands is to enrich the lives of global citizens by offering a flexible, innovative and practical education in a culturally diverse setting.

At Webster University, we are business-oriented and expect that the majority of our students will take on managerial or leadership functions, either in their own business, in international corporations or in international/non-governmental organizations.

We operate on the premise that a good leader, manager or entrepreneur needs a broad and varied education. At the undergraduate level, students are exposed to a wide range of disciplines, allowing them to develop to their fullest potential. We are passionate in our conviction that being a business leader is not just about having a broad understanding of business. It is also about people. That is why our MBA, the capstone of our academic system, carries a heavy load of courses in communications, people skills and personal development on top of the requisite business courses.

We offer an individual-oriented atmosphere. Webster students are taught in small classes by academic instructors who are experienced practitioners in their field. We want our students to succeed - both at Webster and in their professional life. Webster University cares.
