Business specialists study organisations from a variety of perspectives. They observe how the different sections of organisations affect each other and analyse their strengths and weaknesses. This may include issues such as making better working agreements, adjusting production lines, changing the company culture, introducing more effective marketing strategies, or even carrying out comprehensive reorganisations or outsourcing. In short, Business Administration focuses on all of the aspects that contribute to the successful running of businesses.
The Bachelor’s degree programme in Business Administration is a varied programme. In your second year, you will choose one of the profiles:
- Accountancy and Controlling
- Business and Management
- Technology Management
Each profile consists of several core course units imparting knowledge that is important for any business expert, as well as course units that focus on a certain specialization in depth. This means that upon completion of the Bachelor’s degree programme, you will have been broadly trained in the field of business administration, while also distinguishing yourself with your expert knowledge in your chosen specialization.
Waarom aan de University of Groningen?
Bachelor's graduates can also further develop in the field of business administration in one of the many follow-up Master's degree programmes on offer.

profiel Technology Management
Would you like to learn how to utilize technology to make businesses more effective and efficient? In this profile, you will learn to combine management and technology.
Technology leads to renewal, but this does not happen spontaneously. Technology has to be organized in a variety of ways, ranging from the design of the workplace and the division of tasks among staff, to the steps that are needed for product and process innovation and to the actual initiation of a change process. In this profile, you will learn what it takes to develop, create and renew products and services and to improve processes. Subjects such as logistics, production, work organization and information processing will be covered. You will also learn about the role of technology in business.
During the third year, you can choose to take a minor at another faculty, to deepen your knowledge of technology. You can also choose to study abroad for a semester. Your final assignment consists of a thesis and a practical assignment, in which you redesign a business unit.

Potentiële beroepen
All Bachelor's graduates who followed the Accountancy & Controlling profile continue on to the Master's degree programme in Accountancy & Controlling and subsequently to a Executive programme in accountancy or controlling. These Executive programmes are also offered at the University of Groningen.
The Executive Master of Accountancy can be started immediately after you've gained your Master's degree, whereas the Executive Master of Finance and Control requires several years of work experience.
Accountants usually work for one of the 'Big Four' accounting firms: KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte or Ernst & Young. Businesses have their annual accounts audited by these kinds of firms. Accountants examine the overall organization of the business. They get a picture of the administrative organization, look at information streams and test certain transactions by conducting random sample checks and figure analyses. A controller is a regular staff member of a company and is responsible, for example, for preparing the annual accounts, drawing up budgets, making cost calculations, assessing investment proposals and setting up a performance measurement system. They could be called the 'financial conscience' of the business.
A degree in Business Administration also qualifies you for management and consultancy positions in the fields of human resource management, marketing, IT and finance. You can help companies to improve their efficiency and introduce innovative solutions. Non-profit organisations and government institutions are also working hard to become more professional in their working methods. Examples of positions that our Business Administration graduates have found include business analyst, head of fundraising at a charity and senior manager of financial affairs at a large municipality.
Graduates from the Technology Management profile are ideally suited for professions at the interface of management and technology, such as the positions of analyst, consultant, brand manager, industrial engineer, information analyst, organizational advisor, production manager, and quality manager. Virtually all of our graduates find jobs immediately after graduating.
A technology manager is in fact at home anywhere – from multinationals to consultancy firms and from airlines to food manufacturers – as long as there is a focus on technology and a continual push for improvement.
