Dual Qualification
Students studying an EU MBA program have the opportunity to earn a second distinct qualification, a state-accredited degree from the University of Roehampton in London, U.K. Students with less than two years' professional experience may earn a U.K. state-accredited MSc in International Management while students with more than two years' experience may earn a U.K. state-accredited MBA. For both degrees, students are required to complete 120 ECTS. This is achieved through the completion of a final EU business competency simulation and a University of Roehampton dissertation in addition to the regular EU MBA coursework. Both qualifications can be earned in one year of full-time study or two years, part-time.
