Presentation

The Dual Bachelor’s Degree in International Studies and Economics combines the education and training that studies in economics offers together with the multidisciplinary nature that inspires degrees in International Studies at outstanding world universities.

The goal of this program is to create specialists who wish to add an international dimension to their career. Graduates will be able to understand and analyze increasingly complex economic situations and process and interpret large quantities of data that companies and institutions generate. The education is rounded out with other content that is especially important at an international level. This might include the functioning of the world economy, the economic policy of poverty and inequalities, causes and consequences of migration, the exploitation of natural resources or climate change policy, among other topics.

This program is taught entirely in English and includes all the basic content that is taught in both degrees separately. At the end of their program, students will receive two degrees, one in International Studies and another in Economics, with the professional advantages that this entails.
