Overview
This program combines a global international relations outlook with the practical skills of business thinking. As corporations expand and blur national boundaries, they operate in a more complex landscape. This specialization provides a solid knowledge of the global economic environment recognizing politics, cross-cultural values and ethics as key components. Students who complete this program are trained to apply a global mindset and creative thinking to conflict management and resolution while considering growth and the bottom line.
With our fast-track option, students can accelerate their studies by completing one or two intensive summer semesters. We also offer inter-campus transfers between our EU campuses and exchange programs with our OMNES sister schools in Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon, Monaco and London to enhance international experience and multicultural learning.
Note: Please note that students may attend classes remotely in the event of extenuating circumstances, for example unavoidable late arrival to their campus city.
