Are you currently enrolled in a bachelor program in the field of business studies and/or management  and are you thinking of joining the University of Twente's master’s program in Business Administration upon completion of your bachelor’s degree? Are you particularly interested in working on complex business problems in a challenging, innovative and technological environment? Then, the multidisciplinary, highly entrepreneurial and internationally oriented master of Business Administration offered by the University of Twente (UT) might be perfect for you!

This transfer minor helps business studies and management students from Universities of Applied Sciences(HBO) or other Dutch research universities to transfer to the University of Twente by eliminating any deficiencies they may have before entering UT’s ‘High Tech Human Touch’ Business Administration Master of Science programme.

The pre-master programme Business Administration will be your preparation for the UT Master of Science Business Administration by learning the basics in business administration (organization theory, researching strategy & marketing, global entrepreneurship & business) and research skills such as statistics, methodology and academic writing. This transfer minor gives you an opportunity to get a good impression about  the master and studying at the UT. At the same time you can fulfill the formal requirements needed to enter the Business Administration master programme at the UT.

 

The goal of this transfer minor is to 1) get an impression of the content of the master programme BA and to find out if studying at our university suits you 2) to prepare for UT's on the master programme BA by gaining both content and research -knowledge and skills at university level 3) to qualify for the formal requirements for entering our UT Master of Science Business Administration (MScBA).

15 EC courses covering the content of Business Administration to gain basic content knowledge in the field of BA at university level.
