Objetives and Competences

The general degree objective is to provide to both young graduates and active professionals the necessary competences to manage and lead organisations and companies in uncertain environments and global contexts.

To achieve this, the programme presents a multidisciplinary vision of business management, integrating various knowledge sets, relevant competences, and skills that  will allow participants to become involved in modern companies and in the so-called “new economy”.

Furthermore, the research training path will allow researchers to actively participate in the processes of knowledge creation and transmission within the scope of business management and alignedwith the research lines developed in the Business Faculty of   Mondragon Unibertsitatea. Without doubt, the development of the knowledge society requires the design of a system of higher education which facilitates both a broad social access to knowledge, and analytical, critical and communicative personal training, which allows the processing of knowledge information and its exchange and debate within the world of science, international institutions and civil society.
