course overview
The BA in Global Business (Spain) combines a broad understanding of international business with intercultural experience and work placements. This degree is unique in that you’ll have the chance to gain proficiency in a second language, participate in two work placements, and earn two business degrees in two countries.
In your four years, you’ll gain the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the challenges of the diverse worlds of global and local business.
You’ll spend the first two years in DCU (including a work placement in Ireland) and the final two years in ICADE at the Universidad Pontificia Comillas (Madrid), our partner in Spain, where you’ll study in the local language and university system. The University is one of Spain’s oldest and most highly regarded business schools.
You’ll graduate with two qualifications, one from DCU and one from the partner institution.
Why Do This Course?
This degree is the only one of its kind in Ireland. You’ll spend the first two years in DCU, including a work placement, and the final two years in the relevant partner institution abroad, where you study through that country’s language and university system, and do a second work placement.
