Program design and content

A solid foundation combined with in-depth knowledge. The program consists of the following parts:

• Module 1 – Foundation modules
• Module 2 – Electives
• Module 3 – Integration modules
• Module 4 – Master's thesis

The part-time Master Bedrijfskunde offers Foundation modules on various business management topics, such as finance, marketing, and supply chain management. Building on the Foundation modules, we offer in-depth modules during which you choose your own specialization, based on your electives.

This means that you will gain in-depth knowledge in at least three of the following five areas:

• Strategic Management + Consulting
• Innovation
• Creating Shared Value
• Public and Private Partnerships
• Responsible Leadership

During the Integration modules, you integrate the knowledge and skills you gained during the first two Modules and continue to expand on them. You will gain new insights and a deeper understanding of the various topics.

The final module also includes an international study trip. You finish your degree by writing a Master's Thesis.

The four phases are planned over 18 months. Each block of modules requires preparation of literature and case studies, through the online campus. After this, you will follow interactive meetings and lectures during two consecutive days every month.
