Bachelor in Business Administration + International Diploma
The Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA) + International Diploma at CUNEF Universidad is designed for students seeking to obtain a double international qualification and pursue a global career in business management and administration.
Throughout the programme, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the core functional areas of a firm—finance, marketing, operations, strategy and human resources—and develop the competencies required to make effective decisions, manage multicultural teams, and lead global projects. The programme stands out for its practical and applied approach, which provides a solid grounding in the principles of management, combined with training in key digital and analytical tools.
The programme includes a third year abroad, at a prestigious partner university. Once students successfully complete this academic year abroad, the host institution will award them a Diploma that will enhance their international profile and expand their access to professional opportunities in different countries.
The programme also offers two specialisation options, enabling students to choose between focusing on Data Science applied to business management, or corporate governance, leadership and talent development, and business strategy. Additionally, students may complement their degree with a minor in strategic areas such as Data Science, Digital Marketing, International Finance & Banking, or Entrepreneurship, further reinforcing their international and digital outlook as well as their entrepreneurial capabilities.
