Double Bachelor: International Business Administration and Economics BSc Tilburg University

Overview

Earn two Bachelor’s degrees in four years by combining International Business Administration and Economics in one integrated program. Build expertise in strategic management, cross-cultural communication, data analysis, econometrics, and economic modelling. Learn to analyze market trends and policy decisions, interpret data at both micro- and macro-levels, and translate economic insights into effective business strategies in an international context. What makes this program unique is that it combines economics and international business from the first semester through to the thesis.

• In the first year,  you build a strong foundation in both economics and business. You deepen your understanding of microeconomics and macroeconomics, while taking business-related courses in areas such as marketing and human resources. At the same time, you develop your analytical skills through training in statistics and programming.
• In the second year, you further develop your analytical and strategic skills. You deepen your quantitative knowledge in economics while expanding your understanding of finance, strategy, and marketing. At the same time, you explore the impact of technology, data, ethics, and global developments on business and society.

• In the fourth year, you can specialize in one of the core subjects by choosing electives. You can also choose to follow a semester abroad and follow electives there.
