Economics and Business Economics

The emphasis of this English-taught programme lies on economic issues and how to analyze, explain and solve them. The programme also incorporates important business perspectives.

Economics is an English-taught Bachelor's degree programme in which you will become knowledgeable about economic issues and you will learn how to analyse, explain, and solve these issues. Economics studies the use of resources in companies as well as the way in which financial markets operate. In Nijmegen, we offer a distinctive way of looking at economics: bits and pieces of psychology, sociology, business administration and law are included in the studies of economics.
After having studied the first year of the Bachelor's programme Economics, you can choose to study one of the four tracks during the second and third year of the Bachelor's programme: Business Economics, Financial Economics, International Economics and Business, and International Economics and Policy.
In the third year, you have the opportunity to study abroad at a partner university for a semester. In the International Economics and Business track, an obligatory semester of studying abroad is included in the curriculum. During your time abroad, you have the possibility to select courses of your choice within the field that you wish to specialise.
