Research-driven education
Stay ahead in an ever-changing world
The global landscape is evolving, and traditional education often fails to keep up. Graduating with outdated knowledge can leave you unprepared for the challenges that matter most. At the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) in Groningen, our research-driven BSc and MSc degree programmes are designed with your future in mind.
Unlock your potential with research-driven education
Through our research-driven model, you do not just learn about research, you actively engage in it. This method equips you to ask the right questions, think critically, and make a meaningful impact, whether you pursue a career in the corporate world, the public sector, or academia.
You engage directly with pressing issues and real-world challenges. For example, one group of students explored the causes of major financial crises, combining expert insights with historical data to evaluate recovery strategies used before. You might also find yourself conducting a market analysis for a company looking to expand into renewable energy products.
At FEB, you apply research to tangible problems, ensuring you graduate with the skills and competencies to excel in your chosen fields. Interested to find out what key competencies you need?
