a. Scientific competences
1. The bachelor is given a scientifically founded training in the field of applied economic sciences (AES). This training wants to give insight into the state-of-the-art scientific knowledge in the field. The training is clearly and visibly supported by scientific research.
- The scientifically founded knowledge in the strict field of AES that is aimed for, includes:
- basic insight into economics and business economics: micro-economics, macro-economics, introduction to the different functional domains in business economics;
- basic insight into relevant scientific methods and techniques. Here both quantitative and qualitative methods are discussed.
- limited inititation in a specialization.
2. The university level also demands a good general formation. This implies the study of a number of side-disciplines from the social sciences, the study of the institutional context in which the work is done. This also requires questioning one’s own knowledge.
The result is that the bachelor is able to integrate and synthesize the different approaches of economic and business-economic problems, both in his/her own discipline and in an interdisciplinary approach.
3. The bachelor has acquired a sufficiently broad scientific basis to successfully start and complete a Master training in AES-Business Administration.
b. Professional competences
1. The Bachelor has to be able to use/implement his/her scientific knowledge in a well-reasoned, professional and independent way, while preparing, taking and following business-economic decisions.
It is important that this can be done in a great diversity of professional situations (in the private and the public sector, in profit and non-profit organizations, in a micro-economical and a macro-economical perspective) and in a great diversity of functions (marketing, financing, accounting…).
2. In this it is not advisable to prepare the student for a very specific function. In the perspective of lifelong learning, the development of academic core skills – independent analysis/synthesis (reasoning), evaluation and communication – is more important than the (short term) value of the training as a preparation for a specific profession.
In this way the bachelor has a problem-oriented attitude (professional habitus) that is required for recognizing and tackling problems, for scanning possible orientations of solutions, and for choosing, developing, implementing and evaluating a well-reasoned solution.
The bachelor is able to critically apply the scientific insights and methods while evaluating and developing business-economic and economic knowledge, and while intervening (diagnosing, developing, changing and evaluating) in organizations.
3. The bachelor has the skills to communicate in at least three (economically important) foreign languages, in accordance with the C1-standard of the European portfolio for languages, next to which obviously also the acquisition of relevant forms of communication and communication strategies in Dutch.
This implies that other skills are developed/acquired at the same time, such as: interpersonal skills (presentations, interviews, meetings) and skills in expression and formulating.
4. The bachelor has an international (multicultural) attitude.
5. The bachelor has the required foreknowledge to organize this business economic knowledge, skills and attitudes via ‘learning situations’ for the next generations or within a training environment.
c. Social competences
The bachelor wants to actively acquire insights in the domain of general social developments (globalization, sustainable development…). He/she wants to acquire new insights based on business-scientific and business-economic research, and on its relevance for daily work. Moreover, the bachelor is well aware of the interactions between social changes and the functioning of organizations.
d. Reflective competences
1. The bachelor has an independent and critical attitude, so that the graduate recognizes the circumstances in which it is important to think independently, rationally and in a disciplined way, and has the courage and power to use his/her skills in such a situation.
2. From a historical-scientific perspective, the bachelor reflects upon his/her position in society.
- Based on critical-philosophical reflection, the bachelor questions both him/herself and the political, social and economical system.
- Based on ethical-humane concern he/she stands up for the less fortunate in society. From a global-multicultural point of view, he/she positions him/herself in his/her world.

A student’s final result is a weighted average of the exam results the student has obtained for all the programme components of his/her training programme. In calculating the final result, the credits corresponding to the various programme components are used for weighting the results obtained for those components.
The final result is expressed as an integer out of 100.
A student whose final result is less than 50 out of 100 can never be declared successful.
A student is successful for the Bachelor’s programme if he/she has obtained credits for all the programme components in his/her training programme.
The examination board can declare a student who has not obtained credits for all the programme components successful if it can substantiate why it believes that the objectives of the programme have been achieved.
