BSc in Business Administration starting in Amsterdam

Starting this year, BSc in Business Administration (BScBA) students can choose to either study in our capital or in Breukelen, on the campus. The BScBA is focused on academic and personal development. Students follow courses on aspects of business management, but also practice debating and learn more about sustainability and innovation. During their studies, the students follow a Personal Development Journey program, to challenge themselves and discover what they want and what risks they are willing to take, and to develop their personal leadership skills. Sport and exercise are also part of the curriculum, and students take part in an international exchange.

Unfortunately, due to the corona pandemic the program had to be adapted. For instance, a Dutch immersion was organized for the course Digitalization & Innovation. Circular Economy & Sustainable Development was transformed into an online course and for Organizational Leadership & Talent Management, the lecturer created a new and very relevant “red thread” throughout the course instead of a trip, namely “Leadership in times of crisis”. Big Data Analytics and HRM are new foundation courses in the program and we have a new elective week: New feature how?
