• The Research Master Business in Society is an excellent joint degree program of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) and the University of Amsterdam (UvA) taught by the best researchers in business administration at both universities.
  • Business in Society focuses on understanding the intricate relationships between business and society, which becomes increasingly necessary for addressing grand challenges like environmental and financial sustainability and for meeting our society’s demand for ethical leadership and corporate social responsibility. The two-year program will equip students with the knowledge and skills to shape new ways of doing business taking into account how organizations and society affect each other. It also provides the methodological and theory-building skills needed to conceive of new solutions for the problems related to business in society.
  • The exclusive program provides students with an opportunity to work in close collaboration with top researchers from the School of Business and Economics (SBE) and the Amsterdam Business School (ABS). The aim of this joint effort is to educate a new generation of business and management researchers who have a profound grasp of the societal trends that are changing the face of business.
  • Graduating from this program provides excellent prospects for continuing in a fully-funded Ph.D. position at one of our faculties.
