Faculty of Economics and Business

The Department of Global Economics & Management is an active international group of approximately 80 researchers and teachers. Our research and teaching cover a broad range of topics in International Business, International Economics, and International Management. We are internationally oriented: about 40 per cent of the department members and 80 per cent of our PhD students are non-Dutch. We teach in two of the faculty’s four bachelor programmes, namely the BSc in International Business (link: https://www.rug.nl/bachelors/international-business/#programme) and the BSc in Economics and Business Economics (link: https://www.rug.nl/bachelors/economics-and-business-economics/#programme). In addition, we are also responsible for two one-year MSc programmes: the MSc in International Business & Management and the MSc in Economic Development and Globalization. (links are listed below)

Our BSc and MSc programmes are taught in English. We participate in the selective honours programme for BSc students, as well as the challenging two-year research master programme, aimed at students intending to pursue a PhD. Our researchers publish regularly in a wide range of top journals, such as the Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Management, Journal of World Business, Journal of International Management, Organization Science, and Strategic Management Journal.
