The Master’s degree in Business Administration will provide you with a theoretical understanding of business studies relevant to the fiscal and organisational management of companies.

OVERVIEW

You will work with economic theory and formal modelling as you learn how best to manage and optimise business operations. The MSc in Business Administration gives you great freedom to design your own academic profile within, for example, international marketing, management accounting, innovation management, and human resource management.

The degree gives you the possibility to choose a pure business administration profile, to combine business administration with another supplementary master’s subject, or to choose the Business Psychology specialisation, which combines business administration with psychology.

CAREER OPTIONS

With a degree in Business Administration, you can find employment within the marketing or human resources departments of international companies, within the public sector or with the recruitment departments of consultancy firms. Your career options will be directly influenced by your choice of supplementary subject. For instance, if you choose a language as a supplementary subject, you would increase your chances of working within marketing, while combining business administration with psychology would give you more opportunities within HR and recruitment.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

You can choose between three specialisations:

• The pure business administration programme, which is comprised of business administration courses for three semesters before you complete the degree with your Master’s thesis.
• Combine business administration with a supplementary master’s subject. Here you will initially continue with the supplementary subject you have previously studied in your bachelor’s degree, before continuing with business administration courses until you complete the degree with your master’s thesis.
• You can choose a specialisation combining business administration with psychology, which you can read about on the next few pages.
