Double degree structure

Syllabus of the double bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management + International Relations...

Year 1

You will study the fundamentals of Business Management (Accounting, Business…) and International Relations (Introduction to International Relations, Research Design...) and you will begin to understand how a company operates in an international context.

Year 2 - Year 3

You will continue to learn about the different management tools (financial accounting, management control…) and the concepts of economics (micro and macroeconomics…). All this from an international perspective in which you will focus on more technical aspects of the subject (Public International Law, Geopolitics, International Trade...) as you get to know the main political and institutional systems on a global scale.

Year 4

You will be able to develop business strategy and understand different business models, as well as manage different departments. You will also gain further insight into the complexity of international relations. During the summer, you will do an internship in a company that will bring you closer to the labour market.

Year 5

During the first semester you will undertake a period of study abroad, where you will broaden your knowledge in the regional studies area. In this last year, you will be required to do two Undergraduate Final Year Projects, one in the management area and another in the international relations area.
