Programme profile


Economics is the science of choice, from the personal (why do you buy what you do?) to the public (how do government policies affect your behaviour as a consumer?). Business Economics, meanwhile, is about solving specific problems within companies (how can we as a company influence consumer choices and policy decisions?). Understanding the choices that all these players make is essential in today"s globalising society, where consumer choices and business opportunities are multiplying by the hour.

The University uses Problem-Based Learning (PBL), an innovative, student-centred instructional method widely used at Maastricht University. Students work in tutorial groups, collaboratively seeking practical solutions to open-ended, real-world problems. Instructors act as facilitators, informally giving help when and where it is needed. This allows you to build independence and develop research skills.

The Maastricht University School of Business is one of the very few business schools, internationally, to be accredited by all three of the American AASCB, the British AMBA and the European-wide EQUIS, which evaluate the curricula, organisation, staff qualifications, students and management of candidate schools.
