Business Development and Global Business

Subjects are not studied in isolation. Each one is applied directly to the real company you are building in Dubai: Finance isn't theory, it's your cash flow; Law isn't an exam, it's the legal incorporation of your business.

More questions
01How long is the degree?

The Bachelor's Degree in Business Development and Global Business lasts 3 years, in a four-month term system and online format.

IORCA focuses much of its energy on practice and business execution. Theory matters, but our model is designed so that knowledge is applied directly to building your company and, above all, in the real market.

During those three years you will study, start a business, look for clients, generate sales, make mistakes, adjust and learn to make business decisions based on real results.

Your three years of university will also be your first three years as an entrepreneur.

02Are classes fully online?

Yes. The degree is taken fully online, allowing students from Mexico and Latin America to study from their home country while developing their company in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The model is designed so you can combine your university education with developing your business project, without needing to move to Dubai to get started.

03What do I need to achieve to graduate?

Throughout the degree you will complete your academic training while you develop, run and take a real company to market.

The goal is for your graduation project to be the culmination of that process: the result of three years of learning and building a business at the same time.
