About

In the Business Administration - International Business programme of the University of Amsterdam, you learn about the challenges multinational enterprises (MNEs) face when doing business abroad. This track is one of the nine tracks you can opt for in our Master's in Business Administration.

Overview

Globalisation increasingly stimulates firms to expand across borders and become multinational enterprises. This confronts them with macro-level issues related to supranational policies and ‘local’ matters, such as market entry mode and internationalisation strategies. In the International Business track, you investigate the challenges of managing a multinational enterprise.

In the Business Administration - International Business programme of the University of Amsterdam, you will follow 5 general courses and 3 track-specific courses. You will finish with a thesis. If you have a fundamental drive to challenge the corporate environment, you can participate in our Honours programme Sustainability.

Devoted team of lecturers

Our international team of lecturers and researchers is devoted to taking you on this challenging intellectual journey. They will invite you to discuss theories, practise them in real-life cases and draw up creative solutions, thus providing you with a solid foundation for a future career in an increasingly globalised business landscape.
