Why BITLASI? Discover our degree focused on Business Innovation

A disruptive multidisciplinary education

60% business, 25% Humanities, 15% Technology

BITLASI is a multidisciplinary program covering three crucial fields of knowledge:

Business: You’ll learn entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, operations, corporate strategy, design thinking, and more. How? Not attending separate subjects but in cross-cutting projects. In other words, in the morning you will have lectures from a diverse faculty team. In the afternoon, you’ll learn how to apply theory to practice, always working in teams on a real project.

Humanities: More than ever, being a manager means facing ethical dilemmas. By learning self-awareness, philosophy, anthropology, sociology and psychology, you’ll gain a critical edge in the human aspects of business.

Technology: As a business leader, you will have to make the most of disruptive technologies. BITLASI will help you develop skills and knowledge of AI, Big Data and more, and learn how to apply their power to solve human problems. ​

Flexible learning spaces

We live in an interconnected and ever-changing world where the pace of innovation is unparalleled in human history, and numerous new global challenges continue to unfold. In the face of this context, developing specific soft skills and gaining particular personal experiences becomes essential to become an agent of change. We believe that to enhance the individual learning goals of BITLASI, a combination of learning spaces must be provided to students during the 4 years of the Bachelor.

Based on that, the program is built upon various learning environments, including the BITLASI room, online platforms, Fab Lab, media room, company facilities, and international ecosystems in Europe and Asia. There is no better way to understand an ecosystem than by experiencing it firsthand.
