Structure of the Degree
The Master's in Business Management and Economics by the University of Almeria has a total of 60 ECTS credits, distributed academically in a year, with 2 semesters, which comprise all the theoretical and practical training that the student must acquire.
The curriculum is set up around an elective structure in which students must compulsorily take the Master’s Thesis (9 ECTS credits), and optionally choose the remaining subjects until completing the 60 ECTS credits. The total offer of Master's credits is 126 ECTS credits.
Students may obtain a master's degree with or without a specialisation. The three specialisations provided for in this curriculum are the following:
- Specialisation in Management and Executive Development.
- Specialisation in General Management.
- Specialisation in Research.
The requirements for giving an specialisation to a master's degree are as follows:
