What it is

You spend four years in four places: the first in Madrid, the second in Singapore, the third in Dubai, and the fourth in Madrid or New York City. Each stop builds on business foundations in finance, management and economics, through practical projects, business sprints, labs, corporate challenges and regional business treks, plus non-credit sessions on geopolitics and geoeconomics. In the final year you either graduate in Madrid with one of eight concentrations or take a 3+1 pathway in New York that adds a master's. Graduates aim for roles such as global strategy consultant, business development manager, global marketing manager or cross-border entrepreneur.
