Schiller International University's Bachelor of Science in International Business is built for students who want to lead companies that operate across borders from the start of their careers. This is not a generic business degree: the curriculum weaves together global strategy, international finance, applied AI, and corporate sustainability — skills multinational employers actively seek in early-career professionals with an international mindset.

Studying this degree in English across Madrid, Paris, Heidelberg, or Tampa places you at the heart of four distinct business ecosystems. After your first year, Schiller's inter-campus mobility lets you transfer to another continent without interrupting your U.S.-accredited degree, building real market experience in both Europe and the United States.

On-campus and online delivery options give Latin American and European students flexibility to combine work and study. With intakes in February, June, and September, you can align your move abroad with your local academic calendar. 2026 tuition at European campuses is €15,420 per year, with scholarships up to 50% in Heidelberg and up to 35% at other locations.

Graduates move into consulting, international trade, global operations management, and cross-border entrepreneurship. At the Tampa campus, the degree supports up to 12 months of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the United States — a decisive advantage for students who want U.S. work experience after studying abroad.

Employability is central to the program: career workshops, alumni networking across four continents, and transferable English-language skills position graduates for roles in export management, internationalization consulting, subsidiary management, global corporate banking, and globally ambitious startups.

-based private university with an international footprint in Europe.

Student experience

Living in Madrid

Madrid hosts Complutense, Carlos III, IE-linked routes and many private colleges along Metro lines. Rent in central districts is high; students often share piso rooms in Lavapiés, Moncloa corridors or suburbs linked by Cercanías.

Non-EU students usually need admission, proof of funds, health insurance and a study stay authorization before travel. Spanish and English programs coexist — confirm language of instruction and homologación of prior degrees.

Studying in Madrid, Paris, Heidelberg, and Tampa

Inter-campus mobility after year one lets you live in two or three countries during your degree, adding verifiable multicultural experience to your CV.

If your goal is a global business career and you want to study abroad with geographic flexibility, this Bachelor of Science in International Business belongs on your shortlist.
