DUAL DEGREE IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION UCM-HWR BERLIN

 

The Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at the UCM has established an international agreement with the Berlin School of Economics and Law (HWR), where Business Administration students from the English group of both universities will have the possibility to study the International Dual Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration.

In the 2015-2016 academic year, the Dual Degree in Business Administration and Management (ADE) program was introduced with the Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht (HWR) (Berlin School of Economics and Law). As a consequence of the internationalisation strategy of the Faculty of Economics and Business at the UCM, students spend the first two years of their studies at their respective home institutions, and the following year and a half (semesters 5 to 7) at the host institution, returning to their home institution in the last semester. The international experience and the obtaining of the two Diplomas of Degree in Business Administration at both institutions (UCM and HWR) include 6 months of internship in companies. The student can study 100% of this Degree in English, although he or she can also study subjects optionally in Spanish or German.

The Faculty of Economics and Business Studies at the UCM, located on the Somosaguas Campus, is a very prestigious Faculty of Business in Spain and offers students a variety of high-quality services such as Internship Office, International Relations Office, Library, Mentoring Programme for first-year students, Conference Cycles, Training Activities, Professional Orientation Days, Entrepreneurship mentoring, etc.

The Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht is one of the leading academic centres for applied sciences in Berlin and Germany and specialises in training its students in management and business administration.
