Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and Management
+ Bachelor's Degree in Law in 5 Years
At IGEMA, students have the opportunity to simultaneously study the Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Management and the Bachelor’s Degree in Law.
Through collaboration with CEDEU, starting from the third year of the Business Administration and Management degree, IGEMA students can take the subjects that will lead them to also obtain the Law degree in three additional years.
Therefore, in five years, our students can obtain the Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Management from IGEMA and the Law degree from CEDEU.
Bachelor's Thesis (TFG) in Business Administration and Management
The Final Degree Project (TFG) allows students to apply the knowledge acquired throughout their studies, specifically in Business Administration and Management.
Students choose the specific topic of their thesis, related to the degree they are pursuing. At IGEMA, we encourage students to base their TFG on entrepreneurship or business innovation, as this is the most suitable way to apply most of the knowledge acquired during their studies. Additionally, it adds motivation to work on their own project, which, if viable, can be funded and developed.
To carry out the evaluation of the Final Degree Project, the student must give a presentation and clearly and coherently present the results and conclusions obtained during the work, which can be presented in Catalan, Spanish, or English.
