Optional Language Course

Make the most of your time in Barcelona by learning Spanish. We offer you the opportunity to take a 40-hour language course for beginners, included in the master’s tuition fee.

If you are planning to undertake your internship in Spain, speaking Spanish would be a highly valuable asset as most of companies would expect you to be fluent in this language. That is why we encourage you to benefit from this opportunity.

The course’s timetable is embedded in your MSc International Financial Management & Control so that you can combine it with the program’s classes and activities. However, it does not provide you with ECTS credits. Finally, please consider that we require a minimum of 8 students registered to offer each language course.

Master’s Dissertation

As part of the course, you will write an individual dissertation on a current financial management issue from an academic or professional perspective. This thesis will contribute to the study, analysis, formalization, and abstraction of the topic in question. The essay must include the following aspects:

  • Motivation: A justification of your choice of the research issue
  • Resourcefulness: The ability to write and prepare a research article
  • Creativity & common sense: A structured and logical methodology
  • Cross-functionality: Having a multidimensional approach to solving problems

A suitable master’s thesis is a requirement for graduation.

Optional Internship

You will be given the chance to work as an intern at a company in Spain or abroad throughout 4 to 6 months. You do not need to complete an internship to graduate.

Nonetheless, TBS encourages you to complete an internship to supplement your education with professional experience in sustainable financial management, as it would help towards better professional integration.

TBS Career Services will offer you support to develop your skills, as well as give you professional tools to find the right internship to suit your career. You will receive individual coaching to ensure you make the most of your internship.

It can be difficult to find an internship as it requires perseverance, autonomy, and initiative. You will receive support during the Career Starter workshops, which will help you boost your employability in your internship search.
