Introduction
BSc in Economics and Business Economics
From individuals to businesses and governments, we all make choices every day. Economics is the science of choice, from the personal (Why do you buy what you do?) to the public (How do government policies affect consumer behavior?). Business economics, meanwhile, is about solving specific problems within companies. The Economics and Business Economics program is offered by Maastricht University.
Understanding the choices that all these players make is essential in today's globalizing society, where consumer choices and business opportunities are multiplying by the hour.
You'll not only learn economic theory but will also develop practical skills for analyzing specific problems and professional skills for presenting your solutions.
You'll be well-qualified to advise businesses, consumers, and even policymakers on economic issues. This opens up a wide range of career opportunities for you and will help you succeed at whichever path you choose.

Curriculum
In the Economics and Business Economics program at Maastricht University, you'll analyze business problems using tools from both economics and business:

- Business: strategy, finance, accounting, banking, managerial economics
Economics looks at broader problems that relate to individuals, governments, and national as well as international economies. It's a science that examines how markets work, how businesses and consumers behave, and how legislative and regulatory changes impact businesses and consumers. Business Economics covers economic problems within companies and how to solve them. You'll develop the skills to examine economic issues from all angles and to come up with appropriate solutions.
