Master's Degree in Business Management

The Master’s Degree in Business Management of the UAB is aimed at university graduates of any discipline with 3 years of managerial professional experience, who decide to take an intensive international master’s degree in a period of one academic year exclusively in English.

This professionally oriented master’s programme has an international character both for the use of English as a vehicular language, and for the students it welcomes: they come from all over the world. It also applies an advanced treatment to the different aspects of company management and the transmission of knowledge with the different disciplines of administration, finance, technology, marketing, etc., necessary for the operation of businesses and companies. This master's degree allows to obtain a solid knowledge of the operation of companies with a clear orientation to results without forgetting the human and social values of the business environment in the current economic context.

The interest of the Faculty of Economics and Business in deepening the international character of its postgraduate programs has led to the promotion of a specialized Master's Degree in International Business with an essentially applied approach. The program is structured in three modules with subjects taught by professors with extensive academic and professional experience. The first module provides students with fundamental knowledge of economics and business management. The second module offers candidates specific knowledge of global business management. The third module provides students with advanced knowledge for business administration in the context of a global economy.
