Do you want to reinforce your credibility and knowledge in International Business? Are you interested in a year abroad? In that case, the Dual Degree Programme with the Adam Smith Business School - University of Glasgow might be something for you! Upon completion of the programme, you will receive a Master of Science (MSc) in Business Administration with a specialisation in International Business from Radboud University and a Master of Science (MSc) in Economic Development from the University of Glasgow. This programme consists of a total of 150 EC credits. The Master's Thesis within the dual degree programme is a joint thesis and will be coordinated by both universities.
Something for you?
You will have a convenient way to satisfy your intellectual curiosity for more than just one field of study. The specialisation in International Business at Radboud University will strengthen your multinational management acumen for the creation of social and economic value in emerging and developing economies. While the specialised degree at Glasgow will increase your awareness of and ways of addressing social and developmental problems in these economies in terms of policymaking.
You will receive a much more comprehensive outlook on the world of business, bringing both the firm and the institutional elements together. You will gain better insights into multinationals, emerging market SMEs and transnational institutions such as the World Bank, IMF and UN.
You will make yourself a more desirable hire. Employers are drawn to candidates who show a desire to learn more and have international experience. The dual degree offers the springboard needed to help increase your chance of enhancing your career opportunities. With internship or consultancy projects during your study, you can put theory into practice and build and maintain your network.
Internships are not a standard part of the curriculum, but we heartily support any student who wishes to do the extra work and do an internship. In as far we can, we will assist in finding a suitable position in the Netherlands or abroad.
Study abroad
The Master’s programme is planned to last one year – three blocks with courses, one block writing the thesis. Studying abroad is not an integrated option. However, if you plan to do so, get in contact with the International Office about opportunities. Such a study abroad is possible but will delay your study progress.
