The International Bachelor of Economics and Business Economics concentrates on worldwide issues related to economics and business. Your first year is divided into five blocks of eight weeks.
Each block consists of three courses: one economics course, one course in business economics and one or more support course s or skills training. Subjects range from micro to macroeconomics, from accounting to mathematics, and from philosophy to organisation and strategy. Lectures are combined with small-scale work tutorial groups to work on your assignments and prepare for exams. In these separate sessions, led by a student mentor, you will work on your skills in studying, presentation, writing and debating.
Your second year is again structured around three disciplines. You will deepen your knowledge of the subjects introduced in the first year. You will also be introduced to several new subjects like international economics, marketing, finance and economics of the welfare state. You cover not just the theory: all courses consist of lectures as well as practical applied assignments in small-scale work groups.
