International Bachelor Economics and Business Economics
Year 3; curriculum International Bachelor Economics and Business Economics
The third Bachelor year offers a great deal of choice. Not only will you choose your specialisation, you may also choose to study abroad for several months. You may also decide to add another dimension to your study by taking several optional subjects from other disciplines.
During this year you will attend intensive lectures and small scale tutorials. A central feature of the third Bachelor year is the major seminar, which employs problem-driven teaching. While working in small groups of 20-25 students, you will acquire in-depth knowledge of a specific field and apply it practically, in the form of business assignments. In addition, you will also take the Capita Selecta IBEB course. This course is specifically designed for the international IBEB audience, in which theory meets practice. International themes form the subject’s core, and are dealt with from various economic perspectives. The Bachelor’s degree will culminate in a written thesis.
