Experts and students agree: Maastricht University is the best choice if you want to study International Business, Econometrics, Fiscal Economics or specialized Economics

6 December 2011

According to the ranking published in the Keuzegids Hoger Onderwijs 2012, an independent higher education evaluation guide in the Netherlands,  all four bachelor’s programmes offered by Maastricht University School of Business and Economics (SBE) score very high on programme content, facilities, teaching staff, group size as well as preparation for the labour market. The ranking is based on students’ as well as experts’ opinions. Programmes are scored on a 0 to 10 scale (with 10 being the highest possible score).

 

The International Business programme scores a staggering 7.8 and leaves the competition far behind. According to Keuzegids 2012 ‘Maastricht remains the absolute best choice to study International Business’.

 

The Econometrics and Operations Research programme does the same with an identical high score; ‘The best choice is Maastricht, the outstanding professors make the difference’.     

 

Both the International Business as well as the Econometrics programme have been ranked number 1 in the Netherlands for a consecutive eight years in a row. These programmes are undoubtedly the absolute top in their field and  illustrate the very high standard of education in Maastricht.

 

Fiscal Economics shares its first place, a programme which the Keuzegids calls ‘solid’. This programme has been ranked first three out of four years since it was first included in the ranking in 2009 (it was ranked second in 2010) .

 

The Economics and Business Economics programme scores very high as well, a 7.6. According to the Keuzegids ‘Maastricht is the best choice if you want to study specialized economics’. Maastricht’s programme is ranked second behind Wageningen,  about which the Keuzegids states ‘if you want to study a combination of economics, policy- and natural sciences you should choose Wageningen’.  During the past eight years Maastricht’s Economics and Business Economics programme has been ranked first three times.
