Tilburg University is a Dutch public research university, known for its strong focus on social sciences, economics, law, business, humanities, and theology. It positions itself as a socially engaged institution with the motto of contributing to an equitable, inclusive, and sustainable society through research and education.
Tilburg emphasizes “thinkers with character”: every program includes philosophy and reflection on societal issues, aiming to build students’ ethical and social responsibility alongside academic skills.
Tilburg University consistently ranks among the better universities worldwide in fields such as business & economics, law, and psychology. Its economics and econometrics, business administration, and law programs in particular are regarded as areas of excellence, often cited as among the strongest in the Netherlands and competitive internationally.
The university operates a compact, specialized campus serving almost 20,000 undergraduate and graduate students and hosting 1700 faculty members.
The BSc Entrepreneurship & Business Innovation program is one of the newest programs of the university and unique to the Netherlands and the EU. It aims to educate academic thinkers that use an entrepreneurial mindset to build and grow impactful businesses. In the program, team-based experiential learning is at the core of its approach to talent development. Obviously, attending tutorials that act as learning labs is important, not only for them to bond and collaborate, but to also get guidance and feedback. As each cohort is is about 100-150 students, attendance taking should be efficient and accurate. Attendance Radar has proven to be a great tool to know who is there without the attendance taking disrupting the classes.
Wynand Bodewes, the instructor who introduce Attendance Radar when coordinating several courses and acting as one of the Academic Directors of the program shared the following about the use of Attendance Radar and working with our team:
“The entrepreneurship program at Tilburg University was one of the initial users of the Attendance Radar apps. The initial bugs that we faced when introducing Attendance Radar have all been resolved by the Codific team. They did a formidable job optimizing the user experience for students, faculty and administrators.”
–Wynand Bodewes, Academic Director, BSc Entrepreneurship & Business Innovation Program
Overall, the collaboration with Tilburg University was for us truly a success and we are extremely proud of this as it shows that all the hard work we put into improving the Attendance Radar solution has truly paid off. Moving forward, Tilburg University is reviewing how it can prolong and formalize the relationship with Codific beyond the 2025-2026 academic year. It goes without saying that we are very excited to continue to work with them.
We are currently looking for institutions that are interested in the University Version of Attendance Radar, do you think your organization would be a good fit?
