Introduction

Study international business in Groningen to learn about international markets, cross-cultural management, and innovative business strategies, all essential in today's interconnected world.

What strategies do multinational corporations use to balance profitability and (environmental) sustainability in their international operations? How do cultural perceptions vary, and how can companies address these differences in their international operations? In the BSc International Business, you will learn to understand these challenges, and how to deal with them.

In Groningen, the programme is all about bridging management theories with real-life situations faced by international organizations worldwide. We take a holistic teaching approach. We incorporate multiple perspectives from sociology, ethics and sustainable management, marketing, technology innovation, psychology, economics, politics, and finance into the core subjects. But that is not all – theory comes to life as you put your learning into practice. That is why you work on real-life assignments and case studies and you get the opportunity to choose for an internship or a study exchange in your third year.

Is this programme for you? You like to learn about cultures and countries and how they shape our global business landscape. You are looking for a truly international, diverse and challenging study where you can develop yourself and gain the competencies to prosper in your career. You aspire to work in an international setting, working for a multinational firm, governmental institution or international organization. But above all, you are interested in the very broad range of issues that make doing business different from country to country.

Why study this programme in Groningen?

  • The programme in Groningen is interdisciplinary and links theories of management to the reality of international business. From finance to ethics, sustainability to sociology, psychology to innovation and marketing, and economics to business history – our approach ensures you grasp the nuances of managing international businesses from every angle.
  • You will study with students from across the world and be taught by international teachers. Did you know that there are more than 50 different nationalities represented in the programme and about 35% of the student body is international?
  • In your 3rd year, it is time to either study abroad for one semester at one of over 200 exchange partners in 50 different countries or take the opportunity to do an internship at an international organization.
  • We believe in a soft landing in your 1st year. That is why we place all-year students in a mentor group of max 16 students and pair you from the start with a student and a faculty mentor who are there to support you with both study-related matters and insights about student life.
  • The programme has been internationally accredited by the AACSB and EQUIS, ensuring a high-quality education, which only 1% of universities reach worldwide.
