Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Economics and Business Economics] From University of Amsterdam

During the Bachelor's in Economics and Business Economics, you will gain in-depth knowledge of theories from the fields of economics and business economics. In addition, you will train your analytical, statistical and practical skills. You will also be trained in the research methods needed when applying your knowledge to current issues within the field. Furthermore you will be exposed to relevant real-world cases.

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, you’ll analyse business problems using tools from both economics and business:

Economics: quantitative skills, economic modelling, information management, knowledge management, network economics
Business: strategy, finance, accounting, banking, managerial economics

Why are some countries rich and others poor? How can subsidies and taxes help reduce pollution? Why do people start a business? And how can we make health care affordable? These are just examples of some of the questions that will be addressed during the English-language Bachelor’s degree programme in Economics and Business Economics. The programme teaches you how economists think and how you can study current issues in businesses and society as effectively as possible. The approach of the subjects from the real-world perspective, mean that you not only work with abstract models and theories, but also apply them in a context relevant to actual society.
