The IBEB programme is an initiative of Erasmus School of Economics, the largest and oldest school of economics in the Netherlands. The IBEB programme was established in September 2005 as an English-language variant of the Dutch programme in Economics & Business.

Only by being open to new influences from outside the country’s borders, the Netherlands has been able to develop and maintain a highly stable and open economy. Within this world, the International Bachelor Economics & Business Economics programme offers internationally-orientated students a unique opportunity to look further, by gathering knowledge by looking beyond the borders of one country. In other words, the IBEB programme offers an academically strong, international foundation in economics and business economics.
