Is digitization leading to completely different business models? How do you develop a strong business strategy? And how do corporate governance and sustainability goals influence decision-making processes? These are the kinds of questions you will tackle during the BSc Business Administration.
Study BSc Business Administration in Groningen and analyze a variety of business questions during a multi-faceted program. You will learn all about business processes - from finance, marketing and human resources to corporate cultures and global supply chains - during lectures, case studies, (group) supervision, practicals and guest lectures by professionals in the field.
Thanks to a broad business administration foundation in the first year and specialization opportunities in years two and three, you have ample opportunity to develop in the field of study of your choice. You can choose from the following three directions:

Thus, after completing the bachelor's, you will be broadly educated in business administration, but you will also distinguish yourself through specialized knowledge in a particular direction.
Even after the bachelor's degree, the UG offers the possibility of further development in business administration, with many connecting masters.

Gain new knowledge and unique experiences during a semester abroad? We definitely recommend that and within this bachelor's program there is plenty of room for it - with a maximum of 30 EC. During your studies we will give you a lot of information about the possibilities.bindend studieadvies
- minimaal 45 EC in de eerste 12 maanden
You will be offered study advice after the first year of study. You can expect a positive result if you have earned more than 45 ECTS credit points (out of a total of 60 ECTS). If you have earned fewer than 45 ECTS and are issued a negative result, you will not be allowed to continue with your degree programme.
You will receive preliminary study advice in December to make sure that you know where you stand. Please contact your study advisor as soon as possible if you have any questions about the BSA system.N.B. Some degree programmes use a tutoring system; please check with your study advisor.
study guidance
Studying means a lot of independent work and planning, but of course the faculty will help you with that. You will be looked after by a mentor along with other freshmen in a study success group. This senior student will make sure you quickly get acquainted with the faculty. Your mentor group is also the group with which you take working classes.
Right from the start of the first year, the study success groups meet regularly under the guidance of a student mentor. You will meet fellow students, exchange information and do assignments that will help you gain insight into your own study methods and help you study more effectively. You follow your seminars with the same group. This small-scale format facilitates contact with your tutors. Each group has a tutor, with whom you will have individual discussions throughout the year. In this way, you will receive personal and regular feedback on your study progress. Many different factors play a role in successful study and it is therefore not surprising if you need an objective, expert discussion partner for specific study issues. For example, to see if your studies are still on track or if personal circumstances affect your studies. For this you can contact the faculty's study advisors. Naturally, they will treat all information confidentially.

Potentiële beroepen
accountant/controller/internal auditor/financial manager
Students with the Accountancy & Controlling profile almost all follow the Master's program in Accountancy & Controlling and then one of the post-initial programs: Executive Master of Accountancy and the Executive Master of Finance and Control. As an accountant, you will usually work for one of the four major accounting firms: KPMG, PwC, Deloitte or EY. As an accountant, you audit financial statements such as a company's financial statements. You form a picture of the administrative organization, review information flows and perform spot checks and numerical analyses to verify certain transactions. Among other things, the controller prepares the financial statements and is responsible for preparing budgets, making cost calculations, reviewing investment proposals and setting up performance measurement systems.
business analist/manager financiële zaken/consultant/brand manager
With a Business and Management profile you can think of management and consultancy positions in the field of general strategy, human resource management, marketing, ict or finance. You help a company determine its strategy, improve efficiency but also effectiveness and introduce innovative (customer) solutions. Non-profit organizations and governments are also busy professionalizing their way of working.
data analist/logistiek manager/operations manager/industrial engineer
The Technology Management profile allows you to choose professions at the intersection of management and technology, such as analyst, consultant, brand manager, industrial engineer, information analyst, organizational consultant, production manager and quality manager. A technology manager can actually go anywhere - from multinational corporations to consulting firms, from airlines to food manufacturers - as long as there is a focus on technology and a continuous drive for improvement.
