- Methods. These courses will give you methodical knowledge and skills. You will learn to use tools such as surveys, statistics, interviews, focus group interviews, participant observation, workplace databases and computer simulated 'what-if' analyses.
- Application. In courses such as 'Applied Organisational Analysis' and 'Evaluation and Assessment' you will learn how to apply and incorporate the obtained theoretical, analytical and methodical knowledge in relevant economic and organisational contexts.
In the fifth semester you can choose a number of electives, or you can participate in an exchange or internship programme.
