The Global Business Development specialization cultivates future leaders of global expansion: innovative, intercultural, and empowered by AI and strategic analysis.
Anchored in the Bac+3 Visa of European Business School and fully taught in English, the Global Business Development specialization offers an in-depth understanding of the forces transforming global commerce today: geopolitics, technological innovation, cultural behaviors, and sustainability challenges. It builds the essential skills needed to analyze markets, design expansion strategies, adapt an offer to diverse cultural contexts, and manage international partnerships.
Aligned with the Audace 6.0 framework, it relies on the Fusion Trail, enabling students to blend business skills with deeptech and hospitality insights as preparation for future-focused careers. Training in AI, digital tools, international negotiation, and intercultural leadership forms the foundation of this hands-on, transformation-driven specialization.
The 3rd year of the program is entirely international: a first semester on the EBS Barcelona campus, followed by a second semester at one of the 80 partner universities worldwide. This global immersion enables students to directly experience the realities of international markets and develop the multicultural mindset required in global business environments.
Graduates are equipped to analyze complex environments, structure expansion strategies, manage risks, negotiate with international stakeholders, and steer growth beyond borders.
