Why Study GLOCAL?
Theoretical Grounding in International Business and Global Economy: Students will receive a robust theoretical grounding in international business and the global economy from an historical perspective, but will be encouraged to think about global trends from a “local” perspective by thinking about how individuals, firms, cities, regions, and nations remain creative, innovative and competitive in a sustainable way. The programme approaches local competitiveness from an evolutionary development perspective that takes into consideration both the perspective of business and the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Range of Educational Backgrounds Are Accepted: The degree is ideal for students with social science, humanities, business management, arts and liberal arts backgrounds as it stresses a qualitative-historical, holistic analysis of globalisation and localisation processes at the intersection of history, economics, business and cultural studies. The degree stresses the deep importance of time and context for understanding policy or strategy outcomes.
Internships and Practical Experience: A variety of internships and consultancy projects from industry, government, and non-profit placements are available to students in many of the partner universities to enhance their learning experience.
International Experience and Language Skills Development: Students will have the opportunity to study at a minimum of three of the seven partner universities so as to deepen their cultural intelligence and language skills. Language training in a third language over the four semesters is encouraged.
Specialist Master Classes from Associate Partners: Associate Partners from around the world will provide specialist master classes or guest lectures, and make contributions to, or host, the annual summer school that will rotate among our affiliated universities.
