The International Business programme provides the perfect study environment for a business bachelor's student who has strong, international ambitions!

Difference between 3- and 4-year bachelor

What sets the International Business three-year bachelor degree programme apart from the four-year track is that it is designed for students with a higher secondary school education, such as the Dutch vwo level, International Baccalaureate or an international equivalent. This allows you to complete your study faster. Compressing the IB programme in 3 years instead of 4, requires ambition and a strong commitment to self-study. From the second year onwards, you will follow the same programme as the four-year bachelor.
