For whom?

Students who are interested in:

• International Political Economy
• Developments in the global economy
• A career in the corporate world, in (international) economic policy-making, or in corporate sector-government relations

This minor is set up as a dual-language programme, which means that Dutch language students can decide to take some of the tutorials in Dutch and are allowed to write in Dutch. However, it remains possible that if too few Dutch language students register for courses the Dutch language tutorials are canceled and all teaching is in English.

Please note that due to the minor starting in 2024-2025, the information in the 2023-2024 Course Catalogue may be outdated. For the most current programme and detailed course descriptions, refer to the 2024-2025 Course Catalogue from June onwards.
