Real-life business cases

International Business takes a hands-on approach to learning, by continuously combining theory and practice during the entire study programme. This means that all modules are centered around a real-life business case, presented to us by existing (international) companies or organizations. You will be asked to solve a company’s business problem in groups with fellow students. Supported by experts on the underlying theory, you will do research on the subject and develop a plan for your customer.

Intercultural Business Lines

An Intercultural Business Line - an ongoing four-year course - teaches you about the culture of the geographical region of your choice and how this affects business in that region. In the first year, you will choose one out of the five. Your choice allows you to specialize yourself in a specific geographical region and to study the (business) culture in other parts of the world. Language classes are part of the line to enhance your language skills.

The options are:

• Doing business in French-speaking countries. (No prior knowledge required of French).
• Doing business in German-speaking countries. (Entry-level: German A2).
• Doing business in Spanish speaking countries. (No prior knowledge required of Spanish).
• Doing business in the Euregion. (No prior knowledge required of Dutch. This line is only available for non-Dutch native speakers).
• Doing business in Asia. (No prior knowledge required. In this line there is no mandatory second language).
