Some of the jury members and previous Nyenrode Challenges’ winners shared with Eurogates tips and insights to succeed in the Nyenrode Master Challenge 2013.

During the first challenge, you will face questions regarding you as a person and a potential Nyenrode student. You are encouraged to showcase how you are a well-balanced person by showing yourself through specific facts and examples.Be unique in the way you present your qualities as they are the most important features that you can include in your essay.

The second challenge asses how much you understand about Nyenrode, mentioned the jury members. It is important for participants to know what Nyenrode stands for as there has to be a fit between their personality and the university. To succeed in this challenge, you will have to show how suitable you are to become a Nyenrodian.

The Grand Finale is your moment to shine!

In this stage you are encouraged to be engaging, innovative and to tell a unique story.

Prisca Metz, MSc in Management Challenge winner, mentioned: “…once in the online environment, it became clear that the 100 selected participants came from all over the world. How can I be different and stand out? How can I make sure the jury remembers me in a positive way? To tackle this, I made a hand written presentation about myself with little text and drawings on cards that I showed while presenting myself”.

No detail is small during the challenge, added the jury members. The Grand Finale challenges you on how you manage and control yourself. The winners present themselves calm, confident and in-command during this stage.

Finally, there is no right or wrong answer. You just have to be yourself, trust in your capabilities and have a good rationale behind your argument.

According to Olga Liash (photo), IMBA 2012-2013 student and winner of previous Nyenrode Challenge, “...knowing your strengths and showing your desire to become a part of Nyenrode are the key elements of success at this stage.
