Sales & Business Relations

The button below will bring you to the Albeda application form. Please note: courses are in Dutch.

This programme consists of modules. Each module takes up ten weeks. During each, you will be introduced to a new theme on which you will gain broad knowledge and experience. Examples of themes are ‘The customer’ or ‘The market’. Around every theme, you will learn theory as well as necessary skills such as: entrepreneurship, critical thinking and personal leadership (soft skills). Part of each theme is dealing with guest speakers from the business world, making company visits or doing an assignment at one of our apprenticeships. In this way, you will develop important skills and the professional attitude desired in this field (which a future employer will require from you). What you learn, you apply immediately in the business world!

Create the programme that suits you
Our courses consist of a basic part, a profile part and a number of elective parts. With electives you can broaden or deepen your education. You can even take modules from other economics courses that appeal to you. Or you can speed up. For example, have you already acquired certain necessary skills through work experience? We will adjust your learning path where we can. Always in consultation with you, of course. With us, you are in charge of your own learning process!

Learning is not just something you do in the classroom
The nice thing about learning something new isn’t just that you grow as a person. When you study with us, we encourage you  to become the best in every way we can. How you learn with us varies. Of course, class settings and apprenticeships will be part of your programme. Aditionally, you will learn from home (digitally), working on assignments either independently or in groups.

Personal guidance
During the programme we pay a lot of attention to personal guidance. Among other things, we offer consultations with study career counsellors. Another option always open to you is sparring with lecturers or fellow students. By guiding you well, we let you get the most out of your education. Of course, in case you encounter any problems along the way, we allow room to solve them. We’re here for you!
