Study business research in the Netherlands

The MPhil in business research focuses on recent developments in management and business research methods and techniques. Five different specializations are offered:

The focus on recent developments in methodology and techniques, combined with advanced courses in each specialization field, makes this research master’s the perfect preparation for a successful PhD at a top international business school or for a position in a large company, consultancy firm or institute for applied research.

A maximum of 30 students is admitted to the MPhil program each year. This relatively small number of students allows substantial personal interaction between the students and supervisors and significant customization of the educational program.

Your degree has to be equivalent to our bachelor program prior to the corresponding master program. The examination board decides whether your obtained bachelor's degree is sufficient for admission to a pre-master program. In any case, the examination board carefully reviews each application. Should your previous education not be sufficient for admission to a master’s degree program the examination board will always review your application for possible admittance for a pre-master program instead.

All programs are taught from a strong quantitative approach. A solid background in mathematics and statistics is a necessity for every program. Your background in mathematics and statistics has to show from your university transcript.

Prospective students must show proficiency in the English language and demonstrate this by means of an internet or computer based, Academic TOEFL or Academic IELTS Test Score Report, taken no longer than 2 years before application.

Fortunately, the Dutch government subsidizes higher education which leads to lower tuition fees for students with a nationality from a country belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA). In recent years, more and more students from outside the EEA have decided to study in the Netherlands, resulting in a growing demand for academic scholarships. Below you can find the few scholarships that might be applicable to you.
