Frequently Asked Questions

What modules are in the International Relations semester?

Fall covers The Geopolitical Environment, Global Governance and International Organisations, Regional Specialisations, Strategy and Environment, and Human Rights and Conflict Mediation. Spring covers Financial Management, International Business Law, Diplomacy in the Digital Age, Strategic Communications Management and PR, and Importing, Exporting and Global Sourcing.

Is this a politics programme or a business programme?

Both. The semester deliberately bridges international relations and international business. Fall leans toward geopolitics, global governance, and human rights; Spring leans toward finance, business law, digital diplomacy, communications, and global sourcing — giving you political context alongside commercial practice.

What careers does this semester prepare me for?

You'll build skills in geopolitics, global strategy, international law, diplomacy, and cross-border business — relevant across international organisations, government, NGOs, and companies operating across borders. The semester ends with a Certificate of Completion and a network spanning 50+ nationalities.

Do I need prior study in politics or law?

No. No prior professional experience is required. The semester is designed for university students, gap-year students, recent graduates, and young professionals interested in international relations and global business. Modules build context before moving into applied legal, financial, and strategic work.

How does the programme connect theory to real organisations?

Through company field visits, industry guest speaker sessions, global business and innovation walks, teamwork projects, and multicultural networking across Barcelona. Students see how real organisations apply global business and international relations strategies rather than studying them only in the abstract.
