Director International Relations, School of Business and Economics Maastricht University
The Maastricht University School of Business and Economics (SBE) is a leading European academic centre for high-quality education and international research. Specializing in economics, international business, and sustainability, SBE uses an educational model built on Problem-Based Learning (PBL),a hands-on interdisciplinary method that moves beyond theory. In small groups, students master critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving, ensuring they are ready to jump straight into real-life business cases with confidence and tackle the world’s biggest challenges.
International Relations Office (IRO): Your global talent hub
The International Relations Office (IRO) acts as the School’s global hub, managing a network of over 180 partner universities in 46 countries. Beyond academic exchanges, the IRO also coordinates more than 600 professional internships every year, including many in fast-growing emerging markets.
By bridging the gap between ambitious students and industry leaders, the Internship Office ensures that SBE graduates bring the practical skills and global mindset needed to make an impact in any organization.
