Frequently asked questions
How much does the University of Groningen MSc Business Administration cost?
For 2026/27, EU/EEA students pay the Dutch statutory tuition rate of approximately €2,694 for the full 12-month programme. Non-EU/EEA students pay the institutional rate of approximately €22,200. The very low statutory rate makes it one of the most accessible double-accredited (AACSB and EQUIS) management master's in Europe for EU/EEA applicants.
Is the University of Groningen MSc Business Administration ranked?
The University of Groningen does not appear in the Financial Times Masters in Management ranking, nor in the QS Business Masters in Management table — so there is no FT-weighted salary or QS Management position to cite for this specific programme. The University is, however, a long-established research university that places well in general subject rankings (such as QS Business & Management Studies), and its Faculty of Economics and Business holds the AACSB and EQUIS accreditations. Because it is not in the FT table, applicants comparing on FT standing should weigh that against its accreditation, low EU fee and test-free admission.
What careers do University of Groningen MSc Business Administration graduates pursue?
The school does not publish a programme-level employment rate or salary figure. Its careers pages describe typical graduate roles — management trainee, consultant, financial officer and organisational advisor — and name recruiters including ABN AMRO, Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, McKinsey & Company and KPMG. Outcomes vary by the specialisation profile you choose.

- University of Groningen — Master's language requirements and exemptions (the university's central page; its own 'Last modified' read 04 August 2026). ENGLISH EVIDENCE CHECKED 2026-09-06 (P33c, Dutch leg), and this is the narrowest rule the leg found. The university-wide exemptions are, verbatim: 'you are a native speaker and have completed a full secondary education in the USA, UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and Canada (only when taught fully in English)'; 'you will obtain/ have obtained a full-time Bachelor's degree (at least 3 years) in the USA, UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and Canada (only when taught fully in English)'; 'you have obtained a VWO diploma including English as a subject'; 'you have obtained an EB diploma including English as a medium of instruction (only if L1 and L2)'. There is no medium-of-instruction route: an English-taught degree from outside those six countries exempts nobody. The page then lists faculty-specific additions, and the split matters here — the ONE extra route the Faculty of Economics and Business publishes, which is the faculty that runs this programme, is 'you completed and passed the English-language Pre-MSc programme from the Faculty of Economics and Business', while the Faculty of Law at the same university adds a twenty-entry country list (USA, UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada 'English-speaking regions only', Australia, Antigua, Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Liberia, Malta, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sierra Leone, Trinidad, Tobago). India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Bangladesh reach no route on either list. FEB thresholds read from the same page: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 (min. 6.0 Speaking, 6.5 Writing), TOEFL iBT 90 (min. 20 Speaking, 24 Writing) or 4 on the post-January-2026 scale (min. 4 Speaking, 5 Writing), Cambridge C1/C2 176, LanguageCert Academic 70, Pearson PTE Academic 66; IELTS, LanguageCert, PTE and TOEFL certificates 'are only valid for 2 years' while Cambridge certificates 'do not have limited validity'.
