International Business (Bachelor's full-time)
With the BSc. in International Business, you are responsible for a foreign branch of an international organization, with a different work ethic, culture, and language. You are an entrepreneur about to set up your own business in a market that is governed by completely different legislation than what you are used to. Or you have been commissioned to introduce a new product to a market in which the media landscape, consumer behavior and your competitors are entirely different in comparison to your home country. Are you the sort of person who relishes challenges like these? If so, prepare yourself to take them up by completing the International Business (IB) programme at the Amsterdam School of International Business. AMSIB prepares you for a career in the global mobile workforce.

IB is a four-year full-time bachelor’s programme taught entirely in English. Through our innovative curriculum, you can customize your programme by choosing electives, specializations or up to two additional languages. The combination of lectures, real-business world projects, internship and global exchange, will prepare you to start your own business, launch a career at a multinational corporation, and thrive in the world of international business.Choose one of six specialization tracks such as Entrepreneurship or Language & Culture Immersion, where you will learn an additional business language such as Mandarin, French or Spanish. Additionally, you may opt for a regional specialization, for example, Asia, Latin America or Europe. In addition to the knowledge you will acquire, the programme pays great attention to your personal and professional development.
Career Opportunities
