Keuzegids Masters 2025: SBE earns one “Excellent Master” label and high ratings in career prep
Maastricht University’s School of Business and Economics (SBE) is proud to share that several of its master's programmes received top recognition in the Keuzegids Masters 2025. Among the highlights: SBE’s master in Economics and Strategy in Emerging Markets was awarded the prestigious “Excellent WO Master” label and the programmes Learning and Development in Organisations and Global Supply Chain Management and Change received “excellent” ratings, with the latter programme scoring the highest in the Netherlands in its field across all categories.
More generally, SBE’s publicly-funded master portfolio performed well this year, scoring overall above the national average. When looking at individual assessment categories, “preparation for the labour market” and “atmosphere” emerged as the strongest.
Wilko Letterie, Vice Dean of Education: “We are very pleased to see that our programmes were rated so positively. Student feedback is very important to us and we will use this as we continue to innovate and improve our education.”
Bram Foubert, SBE Master Director: “These great results underscore that students appreciate our education and attest to the excellent work of all teaching and support staff. ”
Thank you again to all our students who shared their feedback and to all our staff for their great work and dedication.
