Hogeschool Rotterdam Business School's Master programmes are built on three pillars:

• Education consists of core, specialisation and elective modules. You can to a large extent determine your own course while developing all the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies of a professional in international business.
• Research is the focus of the final stage of our programmes. You will complete your studies with a thesis research project, which can revolve around a theoretical subject or a project executed for an existing organisation.
• Personal development is encouraged through a system that invites you to set your own particular study goals - and continually test those choices.
