What will the course be like?

In Hilversum, our English-taught program combines the best of both worlds: internationally recognized Pearson BTEC qualification from the United Kingdom and a Dutch MBO level 4 diploma. You’ll study International Marketing units designed to build practical, real-world skills that employers are actively looking for. When you graduate, you earn both a BTEC International Level 3 Extended Diploma and a Dutch MBO Level 4 diploma. This powerful combination gives you a strong advantage in the job market, whether you want to start working immediately or continue your studies in The Netherlands or abroad.

The program is carefully designed so that every part of your curriculum contributes directly to both diplomas. That means everything you learn is relevant, efficient and focused on your future career.

Delivered over three years in Hilversum, this extended program gives you the time and depth to truly master international marketing, develop professional confidence, and prepare for a successful transition into the workplace.

In Amstelveen, the English program is built around internationally recognised certificates from leading universities and companies, powered by Coursera. Throughout the course, you will earn certificates from institutions such as the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Illinois, the University of London, IE Business School, Google, and Meta.

To graduate, you obtain the Dutch MBO diploma at level 4. The Coursera certificates you collect along the way are an integral part of the program, directly supporting your development and preparation for the final qualification. The course duration is 2-3 years.
