What if your first job wasn’t limited to your hometown—or even your home country? What if your career could take you from New York to Singapore, from Madrid to Dubai, and into boardrooms, startups and strategy teams around the world?
That’s the vision behind the Global Bachelor in Business Administration at IE University. It’s a degree built not just to teach business, but to launch careers in global business—wherever they may lead.
Career Possibilities with a global business education
When you graduate from this innovative program, you’ll be leaving with real international experience, in-demand skills and the confidence to lead across borders. That’s essential experience to work in a multinational company, consult with global clients or even launch your own venture.
Here are just a few of the careers Global BBA graduates are prepared to pursue:
- Global Strategy Consultant
- International Business Development Manager
- Financial Manager in Global Markets
- Cross-Border Entrepreneur
- Global Marketing Manager
- Operations or Supply Chain Analyst
- Regional or Country Manager
- Global Product Manager
These roles aren’t limited to one industry—or one part of the world. With this degree, your career can be as global and dynamic as you are.
How do you get there?
So how does the Global BBA help you unlock this kind of future?
It starts with a world-class business education, taught by international faculty who bring real experience to the classroom. From day one, you’ll build a strong foundation in key business areas like marketing, finance, strategy and operations. But you’ll also go further—diving into geopolitics, geoeconomics, and regional trends to understand how business really works in different parts of the world.
Forget memorizing facts. This is where you learn to think strategically and lead with confidence.
A global experience to set you apart
The Global BBA takes you places—literally.
Over four years, you’ll study in up to four global business hubs, each offering unique professional opportunities and cultural insights:
- Year 1: Madrid, Spain
- Year 2: Dubai, UAE
- Year 3: Singapore, Singapore
- Year 4 (optional): Madrid or New York City, USA
In each city, you’ll take region-specific courses, engage with local business communities and work on real-world projects that reflect the challenges companies face in that part of the world. It’s immersive, hands-on learning that brings business to life. Plus you’ll have great stories and skills that employers notice.
