Bachelor in International Business (Breda)

Bachelor in International Business

You look beyond borders and are interested in economics, marketing and business. The International Business study programme will prepare you for a managerial role in an international organisation.

A large multinational wants to tap into a new market in Brazil. You give the management advice on marketing. Or a mobile phone manufacturer wants to relocate some of its production to Eastern Europe. You research the options and write a business plan.
