You can design your own itinerary as it best suits you, choosing the different options we offer at each stage.

The first part of the journey, for example, could be: studying the first three semesters of the degree in Economics (.h) and the Bachelor's degree in Economics (UFM) from home, online with .h; then, the fourth and fifth semesters at the UFM in Guatemala; then the sixth and seventh at the UFM in Madrid; finishing the eighth semester online, living in London, Hawaii or the south of France.
This opportunity will allow you to immerse yourself in diverse cultures, meet people from different backgrounds, and experience a variety of situations, both online and in the different places where you choose to pursue your studies. It will also enable you to align the location of the final stage of your studies with the professional internships you wish to undertake.
Furthermore, studying this way will allow you to obtain degrees from both institutions without extending the study duration in some of the programs we offer or, in certain cases, completing the studies in one or two additional semesters, as detailed below.
