Economics and Business Economics

The programme teaches you how economists think and how you can study current issues in businesses and society as effectively as possible. We approach our subjects from the real-world perspective, meaning that you not only work with abstract models and theories, but also apply them in a context relevant to actual society. What are the needs and objectives of people and organisations in our complex society? What choices do they make in order to fulfil their needs and achieve their objectives? To find the right answers to these questions we analyse economic issues with the insights of other fields such as Geography, Law, Social Sciences and Data Science. You have the opportunity to design your own personal study programme as 50 percent of BSc Economics and Business Economics is made up of optional components. Your insights will be enriched by the international learning environment offered by the Utrecht University School of Economics (U.S.E.).
