Overview

Real-life business projects in the International Business program from Zuyd University of Applied Sciences will provide you with theoretical knowledge and its practical application in the field of:

marketing
management
finance
economics
law
supply chain management
entrepreneurship

You will learn in quite a different way : no traditional classes, no pre-defined blocks or themes. Instead you are in charge of your own learning process and your professional development. This will push your limits and train you to think and act in an independent and proactive way. The professional experience you gain through the business projects will kick-start your entrance at the labour market.

Start your career as a young professional

When you start your studies, you start your career as a young professional. As of the first day you will be working with real clients on real business problems. Alone or in a team with fellow students. You will be stimulated to engage in active learning, meaning that you formulate your own specific goals and have the freedom to figure out how and when to reach them. There are no pre-defined blocks or themes. Instead you take control of your own learning by finding your own business challenges.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Your lecturers will coach and supervise you during the execution of your challenge. They help you and your team oversee the process and they support you in reaching your goals and improving your results.
They can therefore be your sparring partner, mirror and guide. In addition, the programme also has business experts with one or more specialisations within the business field (i.e. sales, marketing, entrepreneurship, finance, supply chain management, sustainability, etc.). They will be the ones to teach you the required research skills and they will help you with questions on the business content of the challenges that you are working on.
