About this programme
The European Business minor addresses the need for transnational policy solutions and socially responsible business practices in today's interconnected world. It instills a purpose-led, entrepreneurial mindset in students, preparing them to adapt to change, leverage European transitions like the Green Deal and digitalisation, and create socially responsible impact. Emphasizing communication and critical thinking skills, it fosters a stakeholder-led approach to business, reflecting the evolving professional landscape.
Through an integrated, multidisciplinary approach, students gain insight into cross-cultural interactions within Europe, understand European institutions' functioning, and explore necessary business model transformations. They delve into various business aspects in EU countries, from legal and financial to logistical and human resources management. The minor also examines the EU's role in business, enabling students to assess its benefits and challenges.
