International Relations + Tourism
The world of the 21st century is characterized by a progressive internationalization that affects all areas. Our goal with this double degree in International Relations and Tourism is to prepare professionals that are capable of understanding and analyzing international society, who know how to get along in governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as in international companies that are an inseparable part of the tourism system.
The Double Bachelor's Degree of International Relations and Tourism trains professionals who know how to develop their skills obtained both in international organizations and companies and in the international tourism system.
One of the training pillars offered by Nebrija University is Internationalization. That is why the university has agreements with different universities, so that students can broaden their education in a highly international environment.
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
