You have been working for a few years now and you have the ambition and drive to move ahead. You want to acquire further qualifications and deepen your knowledge. Give your career a boost with the English Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme at the Academy for Masters & Professional Courses. You learn to inspire and motivate colleagues and tackle management problems based on an extensive knowledge of business processes, economics and finance. In one (full-time) or two years (part-time), you acquire the skills to strategically work in any and all facets of business.

Emphasis on Practical Application

The Master of Business Administration programme is historically focused on the practical application of theoretical business techniques. During the course, you develop several case studies and act as a business consultant to assist organisations with their business problems. Business knowledge and management skills are of central importance. Subjects such as economics, finance, accounting, human resources, marketing, strategy and entrepreneurship are covered extensively. The MBA programme at The Hague University of Applied Sciences is the oldest recognised MBA course provided in English in the Netherlands. And it has consistently received high ratings by NVAO . You are therefore assured of education of the highest quality.

Intercultural and international

Companies are increasingly operating across borders. Experience in international business has now become indispensable for managers and business experts. The Master of Business Administration programme offers an intercultural environment: more than 40 percent of the students are from abroad. You learn about other cultures and customs and get the opportunity to develop an international network during the course.

The Master of Business Administration programme consists of four phases. Each of these phases covers the key building blocks of the MBA course: economics, finance, accountancy, human resources, marketing, strategy and entrepreneurship. You receive a broad-based education and go increasingly deeper into the subject matter.

Study load

The full-time version lasts one year, with a minimum of two or three days of lessons per week. In total, you spend forty to sixty hours a week on the MBA. In the part-time version, you attend lectures a minimum of two evenings a week and must take into account a time investment of fifteen to twenty hours. You work in groups, attend lectures and prepare individual assignments.
