Nottingham Business School

Dual / joint degree programmes

Dual and joint degree awards

Joint and dual degree awards are a powerful tool for developing the School's international reputation and profile. The development of such projects is a set aim for the School and an area of ongoing investment.

Current awards include the joint MSc in European Business and Finance and the BA (Hons) International Business (with French).

Students on the joint MSc complete a section of their programme in their home country (Poland, the Czech Republic or Bulgaria) along with a four month UK study block at NBS.

Students on the new BA (Hons) International Business (with French) are able to complete a four year Bachelors programme incorporating two years of study (plus placement) at EuroMed Ecole de Management in Marseilles.

Both programmes combine English language based tuition with that in a second language and entitle those graduating to awards from two institutions either jointly or separately.

Franchised and validated programmes 

International collaboration under licence or franchise has been a significant part of Nottingham Business School's history. Through its network of franchised and validated centres, Nottingham Business School is able to offer courses to those students unable to complete their studies in the UK, to develop international partnerships, and to gain greater experience of the foreign markets in question.

The School's current partnerships are identified below.

Western Europe

• Athens Graduate School of Management, Greece
• Mediterranean Business School, Iraklion, Crete, Greece

Organisations and institutions interested in developing or extending links with the School are encouraged to contact us. Our key aim is to ensure that the learning experience of students in partner centres is of equal rigour and quality.

"It was during the Joint MSc and its vast array of subjects, that I acquired a profound understanding of various areas within the contemporary business environment. Upon graduation, I joined Ernst & Young. In my job I have realised that complex business issues can not be solved without understanding and good quality thinking. In my case, the ability to understand, analyse and think critically was what I learned on the Joint MSc".
