What it is

Business strategy and political science are studied side by side, to show how companies, governments and international institutions interact and how political decisions move markets. Hands-on projects, policy labs and collaborations with organisations such as GESDA, Google and the International Telecommunication Union take up issues like AI governance, digital transformation, sustainability, international cooperation and geopolitical risk. The aim is a graduate who can shape corporate strategy, read regulatory and political change, advise organisations or build ventures with an international reach.
