This program aims to provide comprehensive yet integrated coverage of the European Union (EU) and the Pan European market. The EU single market today accounts for 22.5 million small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) and 450 million customers which makes the EU a major trade partner in the United States. EU and the U.S. account for 42% of global GDP and global trade in goods and services and the EU is the third largest economy in the world (after U.S. and China).
Finally, the EU is one of the most outward-oriented economies in the world and the world’s largest Single Market Area (SMA). Most of all, however, the EU is one of the strongest U.S. allies that shares the democratic and free market economy values. Global Business Affairs EU Certificate places you in the center of exciting growth, while teaching you the strategies and skills necessary for a successful career in international business.
