Are you interested in management and doing business? Do you want to know more about the business strategies of multinational corporations that operate in various countries? If so, then Business Administration might be the right Bachelor's programme for you. You will look at the ins and outs of how a business operates and how businesses deal with internal and external changes. You will learn to analyse what can be improved in corporate management and what effects markets have on businesses. This programme is suited for people with a broad interest in conducting business and managing organisations.
Deze opleiding heeft meerdere vormen :
International Business Administration - Radboud University Nijmegen

Waarom aan de Radboud Universiteit?

You will be taught a wider range of perspectives than 'just' economics or IT in organisations.
More focus on acquiring research skills than in other business programmes in the Netherlands
A personal approach to education and small-scale teaching
Six months of studying or internship abroad as optional or fixed part of the programme.
In contrast to more general Business Administration programmes, we also focus on the social-economic aspects of running a business and catering to a particular market. You will study how different parties in markets influence the performance of the organisation and how this can be adjusted to meet the organisation's best interests. Students will also learn about research methodology, and will frequently interact with organisations to develop their hands-on experience.
