Are you talented,
motivated and want to get most from your MSc study? Do you want to cross disciplines to learn more about business? Do you want to be part of a select group of students who have also obtained above average grades and have shown high motivation? Do you want your thesis to become the highlight of your MSc degree and to receive close guidance from top researchers of three faculties: the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (FEWEB) and the
VU University Amsterdam, and the Faculty of
Economics and Business (FEB) of the University of Amsterdam? Do you want to increase your international career potential by obtaining an internationally recognised Honours degree?

Internationalisation of the labour market, global economic crisis, and a consequent shortage of vacancies are making it increasingly difficult for fresh business studies’ graduates to enter the work force.
Corporate recruitment agencies have already shifted their focus from students representing the well-know Dutch “six-culture”, and are now targeting only top graduates. Academia has also toughened its recruitment requirements. The mere passion for research no longer determines candidates’ acceptance for a PhD position. An increasing number of Dutch universities and universities abroad are asking from their PhD applicants possession of advanced research training and research experience, as well as written work already published or presented at international conferences.
