        This degree incorporates, from the second semester of the third year, three pathways* that allow specialisation to set your academic curriculum apart according to your future expectations:

        • international business
        • real estate management
        • management of social and solidarity enterprises

        *The pathways are offered if at least 10 students are enrolled

        2. Training in economic, business and legal issues

        This degree is aimed at people interested in acquiring solid general skills in the economic, business and legal fields, as well as skills specific to areas that facilitate their incorporation into the management of international, real estate or social and solidarity companies.

        The curriculum of the degree in Economics and Management is structured around four main pillars: quality academic training, development of personal and collective skills, internationalisation of the curriculum and professional work placements and entrepreneurship.

        3. Internationalisation

        Possibility to study in the United States, through the International Business Certificate Program with the University of Boston. Students receive international training in English linked to their official undergraduate studies and can undertake an additional international mobility stay.

        We also offer the possibility of international placements with the best universities in Europe, America and Australia.

        4. Entrepreneurship

        UAO CEU’s commitment to the entrepreneurial spirit in all its studies is demonstrated by initiatives such as those promoted by the Entrepreneurs’ Club, created by the students themselves. Its activities include the organisation of the BCN Thinking Challenge, an entrepreneurship marathon with participation of students from different universities and specialties and professionals from different sectors who must together solve an entrepreneurship case study with a social objective.

        In addition, the University reinforces its commitment to entrepreneurship through various activities:

        • entrepreneurship and management skills workshops
        • family business events
        • economic discussion forum
        5. CEU ePlus skills programme

        Our teaching model is based on practical, personalised training, linking theory with professional practice, through case studies and real experiences, workshops and practical seminars.

        This includes visits to national and international companies and production centres through a programme of work placements.

        6. Methodology

        The CEU ePlus programme is incorporated into all degrees from the very first year to work on the skills most in demand in the jobs market, customised for each degree. Students also have the chance to take individualised coaching sessions.
