Target audience
Students who are competent in at least two of the three languages used in the course - Spanish, French and English - and who wish to develop a truly international perspective on management by sharing the experience of living and studying in three different European countries with the same group of people.
Special features

We offer the European Management Programme as part of our partnership with the Universidad de Deusto Comercial, Bilbao, Spain, and AUDENCIA, Nantes, Ecole de Management in France. The course takes place in three countries, in three prestigious European institutions, and is taught in three languages - Spanish, French and English.

The EMP can result in two different qualifications. By completing the course successfully, and undertaking the work placement and related project work, you earn an MBA from Deusto and AUDENCIA and a University of Bradford Postgraduate Diploma. If you undertake the MSc dissertation and complete the course successfully, you gain a joint award of European MSc in Management and Administration. The Master's awarded is officially recognised by the Ministerio de Educación in Spain.

How the partnership works
You spend your first term in Spain or France, your second in France or Spain, and your third at the School of Management. Teaching takes place in Spanish, French and English. The course includes some language tuition, but you must be competent it at least two of the three languages used. You spend the final 12 weeks of the course on work placement, writing a report or completing a School of Management dissertation.
