The Bachelor's Degree in Digital Business Design and Innovation at La Salle-URL is the first programme of its kind in Spain. It prepares you to design, launch and grow digital businesses in an international, entrepreneurial environment that is closely connected to real market needs. It is a four-year official bachelor, taught 100% in English in Barcelona.
Why study the Bachelor in Digital Business Design and Innovation at La Salle-URL?
Digital businesses are no longer built on a good idea alone. They need strategy, data, technology, design, the ability to validate ideas and a mindset ready to act in changing contexts.
The programme has been created in collaboration with La Salle Technova, the campus start-up incubator. This connection changes the way you learn: it brings the classroom closer to the real ecosystem where new companies are born, ideas are validated and business decisions are made.
Learn how to build a digital business from the inside
From your first year, you will work on real challenges using methodologies such as Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Agile Development. You will learn to identify opportunities, design business models, analyse data, build value propositions and work with entrepreneurs, mentors and companies from the ecosystem.
Three professional tracks
The bachelor is structured around three main professional tracks, so that from your 3rd year onward you can shape your profile according to the kind of impact you want to make: Entrepreneurship, Intrapreneurship, and Finance.
- In the Entrepreneurship track, you'll work on developing your own venture with a Venture Builder approach: spotting an opportunity, designing the business model, validating the idea, and building a proposal ready to scale.
- In the Intrapreneurship track, you'll learn to lead innovation from within large companies and established organizations. You'll build the skills needed to drive new products, services, processes, and business models in companies that need to transform from the inside out.
- In the Finance track, you'll take it a step further: not only will you learn to pitch your own project, but also to analyze other people's projects, assess their viability, and understand which companies, startups, or business models are worth investing in.
An international experience from Barcelona
The Bachelor's Degree in Digital Business Design and Innovation is taught 100% in English and takes place in an international environment from Barcelona.
During the programme, you will be able to broaden your perspective through academic exchanges and study tours in global innovation hubs — such as Silicon Valley, Tokyo or Singapore — where you will gain first-hand insight into companies, accelerators, investors and entrepreneurs.
Global networking and professional experience
From the third year onwards, you will complete compulsory internships, either in Barcelona, abroad or within Technova itself. The Careers Service will help you find the opportunity that best matches your profile, so you can graduate with real-world experience and a strong professional network.
