In addition, we require students with a background different from Business/Economics to complete the pre-master’s summer program.

  • PRACTICAL INFORMATION
  • INTERNATIONAL

    International Complement

    The Master in Management offers students the possibility of extending their curriculum in some prestigious European universities and Baruch College, New York, with which the Universidad Carlos III has agreements integrated in the Lifelong Learning program: Higher Education (ERASMUS). Currently we have, under the terms and conditions of the Erasmus Program, student exchange agreements with:

       

    University Logos Master Marketing

     

    Extended Curriculum

    The International Complement of the Master in Management is a 6-month program placed at the end of the regular Master’s program that allows outstanding students to complete an extra 30 ECTS credits in any of the universities with which we have exchange agreements.

    This extension is conceived in order to prepare students to:

    • Broaden their horizons by exploring different national environments
    • Strength their skills to live and work in another country
    • Explore different views of management
    • Complement their education in other topics of management, choosing among a wide range of subjects at the host university
    • Develop their language skills
    • Improve their capabilities to work with people from diverse cultures
    • Experience alternative pedagogical methodologies for learning management

     

    Official recognition

    At the end of this program extension, students will receive formal recognition for their academic study period abroad in the transcript of records and in the degree certificate.

     

    Admission

    Interested students must request admission to the International Complement program to the Master’s direction at the end of the first term. The admission to the program will be decided by the Master’s direction on the basis of the academic excellence, as measured in terms of the average mark of the first term of the regular master program. There are a maximum of 4 places available.

    After being admitted into the International Complement program, the enrolment application and fees for any subject in our partner universities will be managed directly from Universidad Carlos III.

    Program Fees are: 4,500 € (150 €/ ECTS credit) for EU students; 6,750 € (250€/ ECTS credit) for Non EU students.

    The University will offer scholarships for all the students admitted to the program. Two scholarships will be for the 50% of the fee and two for the 30% of the fee. This fee reduction will be awarded on the basis of academic excellence/record within the Master’s.
