Final Project (20 ECTS)

A Final Project (Capstone) is a multifaceted assignment that serves as a culminating academic and intellectual experience for Master students. Students take what they have learned throughout the course of their Master’s program and apply it to examine a specific idea/problem within their area of specialization. A Final Project involves the identification of an existing problem in a real-world setting and the application of learned skills and methods to develop a solution that addresses the problem directly. There are several options among which students can choose for developing their Final Project: either it may be geared toward research or may be more oriented toward problem-solving. Solutions offered by students are usually interactive and realistic, meaning they can be implemented and used either in professional life or in further research and study.

Student Story

The flexibility at GBSB Global allowed me to seamlessly balance my studies while advancing my career. After completing my online studies, I launched K.B Consultancy, a Spain-based startup specializing in AI and process automation. As Founder and Owner, I manage everything from sales and marketing to recruitment and finance—juggling multiple roles at once. Beyond technical expertise, the program pushed me outside my comfort zone, especially being one of the younger students in class. Leading seasoned professionals challenged and strengthened my leadership skills, preparing me to navigate complex business environments with confidence.
