Overview

Economics looks at broader problems that relate to individuals, governments, and national as well as international economies. It’s a science that examines how markets work, how businesses and consumers behave, and how legislative and regulatory changes impact businesses and consumers. Business Economics covers economic problems within companies and how to solve them. You’ll develop the skills to examine economic issues from all angles and to come up with appropriate solutions. 

In the Economics and Business Economics programme from Maastricht University, you’ll analyse business problems using tools from both economics and business:

• Economics: quantitative skills, economic modelling, information management, knowledge management, network economics
