International Relations + Tourism
The world of the 21st century is characterized by a progressive internationalization that affects all areas. Our goal with this double degree in International Relations and Tourism is to prepare professionals that are capable of understanding and analyzing international society, who know how to get along in governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as in international companies that are an inseparable part of the tourism system.
The Double Bachelor's Degree of International Relations and Tourism trains professionals who know how to develop their skills obtained both in international organizations and companies and in the international tourism system.
One of the training pillars offered by Nebrija University is Internationalization. That is why the university has agreements with different universities, so that students can broaden their education in a highly international environment.
Microcredential in Global Leadership
Starting in the 2025/26 academic year, our Double Bachelor's Degrees in Law and International Relations will incorporate a new microcredential in Global Leadership. This university-specific credential will allow our Double Bachelor's Degree students to enrich their training in order to lead in a global world.
- Workshops: Working sessions with experts.
During the first four academic years, various working sessions will be held with expert guests from companies, media outlets, law firms, and institutions. These sessions will address topics such as disruptive technological innovations, new ways of learning (deep learning, cognitive science, critical thinking), and new rights in the digital age. - Capstone: International stay in an emerging context.
At the end of the Double Bachelor's Degree program, students will choose the destination for their final stay (study tour), a one-week international experience in an emerging country that matches their interests and professional goals. Each university will design an exclusive program around key themes, combining practical learning, cultural immersion, and unique global networking opportunities.
