Double Degree in Master of Science in Business Administration
The Double Degree MSc in Business Administration offers an outstanding international study experience for students who aim to develop advanced managerial knowledge, global perspectives, and strong professional skills in today’s competitive business environment. Through this program, students earn two master’s degrees: an MSc in Business Administration from EPOKA University and an MSc in Economics and International Management, Curriculum in Luxury, Made in Italy and Emerging Markets from Università degli Studi Internazionali di Roma (UNINT).
Designed on the basis of a shared academic structure and a Double Degree Agreement between the two institutions, the program lasts two academic years (120 ECTS) over four semesters. Students complete the second year at the host institution, benefiting from an immersive international academic experience and exposure to different business, cultural, and market perspectives. The program concludes with a master’s thesis written in English and defended at both institutions, reflecting its strong academic and international character.
Delivered fully in English, the program combines the academic strengths of EPOKA University and UNINT to provide students with a comprehensive and globally relevant education. It integrates core knowledge in business administration, management, leadership, quantitative methods, economics, and research, while also offering a distinctive focus on international management, high-end brands and products, luxury sectors, Made in Italy industries, and internationalisation strategies.
The program is designed to prepare graduates for careers in the private sector, public institutions, entrepreneurship, and international business environments. It harmonizes contemporary business theory with real-world practice and encourages students to develop analytical thinking, problem-solving ability, ethical awareness, and decision-making skills required for responsible leadership in global markets.
A key strength of the program is its strong international and applied orientation. Students benefit from international academic cooperation, research opportunities, interdisciplinary learning, and industry engagement, all of which enhance employability and readiness for professional responsibilities in Albania and abroad. EPOKA’s wider international collaboration model in Business Administration, including visiting professors and international collaborative learning activities, supports this learning environment and strengthens students’ global exposure.
The program also supports applied research through the master’s thesis, encouraging students to address contemporary business challenges, contribute to professional and academic development, and build a solid foundation for future doctoral studies.
The Double Degree MSc in Business Administration offers a unique opportunity to gain two internationally recognized qualifications (EU), study in a truly international setting, and build the knowledge, competencies, and confidence needed to succeed in an increasingly interconnected world of business.
