International Business Administration in Economics & Management – (BBA)

Economics & Management

Core aims:
Students who choose the specialisation of Economics will be involved in the field of understanding macro and micro environments in business, looking at the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. You learn about the management of assets and wealth, also market forces which can change a product´s outlook or a company´s market share.

Based on their in-depth knowledge of the commercial environment in which they operate, Business Administrators who are strong in economics can quickly become key personnel in the management of both large and small organisations, directing and driving the company towards greater turnover, bigger yields and higher profits.

Study Programme:
The programme covers many of the IBA fields of activity, with the main focus on the management of core areas of business that are fundamental to the economics of the organisation, such as quality control and logistics as well as the comparative areas of financial management and business accountancy. Excursions to profit and non-profit organisations will be arranged and Economics and Management students will also be given the opportunity to create a start-up business through a series of modules, including Business Plan.

Career Prospects:
The career prospects of Economics and Management graduates are excellent, with around 30% of graduates having opted for continued education at Master level. However many graduates enter business directly in sectors such as Financial Services and Real Estate, but also companies dealing with international trade, import and export. Wittenborg graduates can be found as logistics managers at robust SME manufacturing companies, but also as financial specialists in corporations such as Achmea Insurance and Sun Microsystems.
