Business Administration

In the Business Administration programme at Radboud University, you examine all aspects of conducting business, with a focus on the role that humans and their interactions play in running a company.
Business Administration offers you a broad range of topics, with consideration not only for international management, but also for psychology, sociology, communication, economics, and law. For example, there is ample consideration given to the role of social and cultural aspects within organisations. After all, employees are not just rational machines, but individuals with needs and desires that can shape and direct their behaviour and thus their performance. Conducting good business is a job involving extensive human interaction.
Apart from looking at the stockholders within an organisation, like managers and employees, you will look at the interaction between other stakeholders involved, such as shareholders and clients; a framework that is even more complex and interesting within international interactions.
We think it is important to educate graduates who have a broad overview of the organisation and its environment, and who are well aware of the influences of social processes within and outside the company. We teach Business Administration from different social-scientific disciplines and always consider culture in order to contribute to a broad mindset.
