The School’s International Office has closed five new agreements over the course of this academic year. An agreement has been signed with the Technical University of Munich (TUM), which is recognized as one of the best universities in Germany and was ranked eighth in the world in terms of employability by the Global University Employability Ranking 2016 published by The Times Higher Education, and ninth in the world for computer science according to the World University Rankings.

RWTH Aachen University, which is also in Germany, is famed for its extensive research work, which is conducted on an exclusive campus and is developed in close collaboration with industry in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

In the United States, the School has signed a partnership agreement with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and will collaborate with the Schools included in the exchange agreement between the University of Navarra and Northeastern University (NU) in Boston. The UNC is one of the top three public universities in the United States. It is over 300 years old and offers 78 bachelor’s degrees, 112 master’s degrees and 68 doctoral programs. NU, on the other hand, is among the best private universities in the country and in the top 10 for resource management according to the Wall Street Journal.  It is also noted for its co-op internship program (cooperative education) through which students can combine classes with internships in the business world.

Moreover, the first partnership agreement in the Philippines has been signed with the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P), the University of Navarra’s sister university, and the agreement with the prestigious EMLYON Business School in France has been re-established. This agreement means that there are now two institutions in Lyon, France’s third largest city, where students can undertake exchange programs. With a view to consolidating the relationship with current partner institution Jean Moulin University Lyon 3, the School played host to the dean in December.

The School of Economics and Business Administration continues to expand its network of partner universities, and students can now opt for an exchange program at one of 116 universities in 39 countries, across five continents, during the 2017-2018 academic year.
