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.
