What it is

The business administration core is combined with a choice of specialisation in accounting, business management, finance or marketing, which appears on the final degree, and a range of optional courses including an external internship. First-year students receive mentoring, an internship office supports placements, and a four-year dual degree with a university in Berlin is available. Typical first-year courses include accounting, economics, mathematics and statistics, with business law, finance, marketing and strategy later on. Graduates usually take positions of responsibility in private companies and public organisations in Spain and abroad.

What you need

  • Can be taken 100% in English. Madrid's Spanish B2 rule for non-Spanish speakers may apply; ask UCM before applying.
