School of Business and Economics
The Maastricht University School of Business and Economics (SBE) provides high-quality education to students and conducts excellent research, offering an international perspective in the fields of economics and international business management, public policy, governance and sustainability. Our research focuses on interdisciplinary solutions to today's global challenges.
SBE’s approach revolves around small-scale teaching methods supported by an electronic learning environment, a portfolio of international study programmes, and strong incentives for top-quality research.
The focus lies on educational innovation. All degree programmes make use of Problem-Based Learning, with an emphasis on skills development, problem solving, group work, and self-directed learning, to prepare students optimally for the European and international knowledge society.
Education
At Maastricht University School of Business and Economics we believe that education should be centred on you, the student. At SBE, you're not simply one more face in a crowded lecture hall. Instead, you work in small groups in our unique Problem-Based Learning setting, seeking innovative solutions to global questions. This means that you are continuously exchanging knowledge, experiences and opinions with both fellow students and academics.
Research
Inspired by the challenge of building tomorrow’s solutions, we bring together a broad range of academic expertise in a creative, forward-thinking environment. The aim is to stimulate interdisciplinary work that looks beyond boundaries to thematic commonalities and collaborative solutions, and shares the methods and excitement of discovery with students and professionals.
Executive education
Rooted in academia, concentrated on business: UMIO and the Maastricht School of Management (MSM) are the executive branches of Maastricht University School of Business and Economics. Across a range of programmes including MBA programmes, our high-quality learning trajectories bring together academic experts, industry professionals and students in a dynamic, international, small-scale learning environment focused on practical outcomes for real-world challenges.
