The Maastricht University School of Business and Economics (SBE) provides high-quality education to students and conducts excellent research, offering an international perspective in the fields of economics and international business administration. Its seven research themes focus on interdisciplinary solutions to today’s global challenges.

SBE applies three Spearhead initiatives focused on themes that are integral to the SDGs: sustainable development, digitalisation, and globalisation. The aim of these Spearheads is to develop cutting-edge research and provide innovative perspectives to society, contributing to the development of solutions for some of the world’s most pressing problems. Our faculty approach revolves around small-scale teaching methods supported by an electronic learning environment, a portfolio of international study programmes, and strong incentives for top-quality research.

The focus lies on educational innovation. All degree programmes make use of Problem-Based Learning, with an emphasis on skills development – problem solving, group work, and self-directed learning – to prepare students optimally for the European and international knowledge society.
