Economics and International Business + International Relations
The Double Bachelor's Degree in Economics and International Business + International Relations has a multidisciplinary program with the objective of training management personnel for international companies and institutions. This double degree integrates in its curriculum areas as diverse, but at the same time as related, as politics, economics, law, security and administration.
The student will discover a heterogeneous international environment and the functioning of the various organizations and their interactions between themselves and companies. In addition, all this training is framed in an international campus, in the center of Madrid, where students from over 56 nationalities live together, which promotes cultural exchange and learning between students.
If you see yourself working in a diplomatic corps, in a worldwide organization or lobbying for a large company, this is the ideal degree for you. It combines the business and economic management of companies with the understanding of the complex relations between countries, and the management of situations or conflicts in global and multicultural environments.
Nebrija University offers the possibility to broaden its students' education with mobility programs. We have more than 140 mobility agreements signed with different universities in Australia, Germany, United Kingdom, South Korea and the United States, among others.
Double Degrees, double opportunities With Nebrija NextGen Talent Microcredential
What is the Nebrija NextGen Talent Microcredential?
Starting in the 2026/27 academic year, our Double Degrees will include this qualification, allowing our students to enrich their training and lead in an increasingly globalized world.
It consists of three essential elements:
From the 1st to the 4th year, there will be six work sessions of two and a half hours each, with expert guests from companies, media outlets, agencies, firms, and institutions to address topics such as:
- The most disruptive technological innovations
- New work methods and business models
- Deep Learning, Cognitive Science, Critical Thinking
- Global Affairs, Public Affairs
- New rights in the digital age
- Sustainability, Diversity, 2030 Agenda
Competencies:
- Global vision and critical thinking: abilities to design the future.
- Coherence and entrepreneurship: making the right decisions
- Teamwork and generosity: nurturing personal relationships
These six competencies will be assessed through an online assessment at the beginning of the program, providing each student with a personal development report. Based on that report, we will have two development sessions each year to create and monitor an action plan focusing on two competencies per year.
At the beginning of the fourth year, a new online assessment will allow us to measure each student’s personal improvement. In addition, it will offer guidance on the positions and sectors within the global market that best match their profile.
At the end of the Double Degree, students will participate in a one-week Study Tour at one of the following destinations:
- Montreal (McGill)
- Miami
- Boston (Babson College)
- Hong Kong
- Singapore
- Shanghai
