04 block 3 and 4 Major
Introduction The major is the specialisation of your bachelor and consists of courses that give you deeper understanding of a specific field of economics. The majors you can take correspond with the master programmes offered at the ESE and they can help you preparing for them. However, it is not necessary to follow a specific major to get into that master. The major consists of 3 courses of 4 credits each and a 12 credit seminar. Seminars involve a lot of assignments and presentations. Some majors offer a choice of courses, in others the programme is fixed. You have to complete one full major, however you subscribe for all individual courses and the seminar separately.
Important for all students pA part of the major courses is compulsory and a part of them can be freely chosen. An overview of the compulsory and elective major courses can be found in the tables on the next pages. pM ore information about the content of major courses and major seminars can be found in the course guide on SIN-Online. pS eminars are in block 4, attendance in every seminar session is compulsory. pY ou have to enrol for the major courses via SINOnline. p To apply for a seminar, you must have completed your bachelor 1 and bachelor 2. Application for seminars is centrally and more information can be found on the website below.
p All major courses and the seminar must be chosen from the same major. p In the tables on the next pages sometimes two course codes or names are indicated for a certain course. In this case the course is offered both in Dutch and in English. The first code or name is always for the Dutch course and the second for the English course.
Important for IBEB students The majors for IBEB correspond with those for Economie en Bedrijfseconomie. However, IBEB students are not allowed to take major courses and seminars in Dutch from the Economie en Bedrijfseconomie programme as part of their major. Therefore in some majors certain courses are obligatory for IBEB students while they are not obligatory for Economie en Bedrijfseconomie students. This is indicated in the tables on the next pages.
