Options

The Dual Master program allows students to combine any two Master programs by adding one additional quarter to their program (i.e. 4 quarters/12 months instead of 3 quarters/9 months). The number of courses per quarter remains the same (i.e. 9 courses per quarter).

(e.g. a Master of Business Administration in combination with a Master in Business Communication and Public Relations)

The EuroMBA program allows students to study one quarter in Barcelona, Spain, one quarter in Brussels, Belgium, and one quarter in The Hague, Netherlands, leading to either a European Master of Business Administration (EuroMBA) or a European Master in Business Studies (EuroMBS).

The Part-time program (*) takes anywhere from 1 to 3 academic years to complete, for a total of 9 to 36 months of part-time studies, depending on the number of courses the student takes per quarter.

(e.g. half the courses equals twice the duration of the full-time program and one third of the courses equals three times the duration of the full-time program)

As part-time students take the courses that fit their schedule, usually, certain flexibility in their working hours is required. Part-time on-campus studies can also easily be combined with additional courses through e-Learning.

The Study Abroad option allows students to study one or more quarters at another campus location without interrupting or extending their studies, as the programs are run simultaneously at all member schools.

The Internship option (*) encourages students to put their skills and knowledge into practice. Several internships are offered by the school's corporate partners. Students are, of course, also free to find an internship on their own, either local or abroad. Upon successful completion of the internship, 2 credits are awarded as a substitute for an elective course.

(*) only available for European students who do not need a student visa to study in Spain and for non-European students who have a valid residency or work permit
