Overview
The Master of Science (MSc) in International Business at SBS Swiss Business School Barcelona is designed for people who want to understand how business works across borders. It is taught entirely in English, in a small international community with classmates from dozens of countries.
Our approach is Graduate with Proof: you finish your master's with more than a diploma. You graduate ready for what's next, with real proof of what you can do.
What the program includes
- Three terms at the Barcelona learning hub.
- Real case studies, workshops and company visits.
- An internship that we strongly recommend. If you do not have previous professional experience in business, it becomes mandatory.
- A final Business Impact Thesis, where you apply original research to a real business challenge.
About the degree
The programs delivered at the SBS Swiss Business School Spain learning hubs are offered under license from SBS Swiss Business School in Zurich, Switzerland, and follow the same internationally accredited academic standards. All contact hours, curriculum delivery and faculty instruction take place on site at the Barcelona learning hub.
Accreditation
SBS Swiss Business School in Switzerland holds international accreditation from the British Accreditation Council (BAC) as an Independent Higher Education Institution, and its business programs are accredited by IACBE and ACBSP, both U.S. accreditation bodies recognized by CHEA.
Programme Structure
Curriculum includes:
During the first three terms at the learning hub, you study key areas of international business, like Global Economics, Strategic Management and Cross-Cultural Communication, through real case studies and workshops.
In the final stage, you complete a Business Impact Thesis: you apply original research to a real business challenge and finish with work you can show to future employers.
Beyond the classroom, the program includes industry workshops, visits to leading companies and social events in Barcelona.
