Structure of the Degree

This master's has a professional character and has 60 ECTS credits, and it is organised in 2 semesters. To obtain the master's degree, students must successfully pass 15 credits of compulsory subjects, 30 credits of elective subjects, 9 credits of internships and 6 of master’s thesis.

The 60 credits are grouped in 5 modules. The criterion used to group the different subjects into 5 homogeneous modules has been that of the subject matter dealt with in each subject.

  • The module 1 (International Management and Negotiation). Groups together matters related to the international organisation of the company.
  • The module 2 (Languages for International Business Administration). Comprises the language-specific subjects included in the master's degree. These subjects, all of 3 ECTS, are grouped around the three languages in which the master's degree is developed: English, French and German. The objective is that, regardless of the other subjects that students take, all develop at least minimum communicative skills in a second language other than English.
  • The module 3 (International Marketing). Groups the specific subjects of international marketing, including a compulsory subject of 3 credits and three elective subjects of 3 ECTS credits each.
  • The module 4 (Other Topics in International Management). Groups elective subjects that deal with the problem of the international management of the company from different perspectives: accounting, finance and international economy.
  • The module 5 (Professional Development). Includes internships, with a load of 9 ECTS, and the master’s thesis project, with 6 ECTS. Both subjects are compulsory.

Note:

In relation to the French and German languages, students must compulsorily choose between one of the two: French or German, and to take a minimum of 6 ECTS (2 subjects) in the chosen language to guarantee minimum skills, being able additionally and optionally to take one more subject until reaching a maximum of 9 ECTS.
