Self-funded students will have the opportunity to enrol in a double degree programme in their second year. You can study at one of our prestigious partners in Belgium at the University of Liege. An exclusive opportunity to gain two degrees for the time and price of one and spend one year in another country!

For admission onto the International Economy and Business programme, you will typically hold an economics, business, international relations or finance degree.

This programme may also be a good fit for you if you have a similar academic background, such as Human Resources (HR), Management, Commerce, Marketing, Accounting, Tourism or Political Science (provided you meet the compulsory credit requirements stated below).  Learn how to lead medium and large enterprises or complex organisational units, how to negotiate successfully and how to develop effective business strategies.
