EU Business School

Since 1973, EU Business School (EU) has been educating future entrepreneurs and business leaders. We are a high-ranking, international business school with campuses in Barcelona, Geneva, Munich and online. We offer foundation, bachelor’s, master’s, MBA and doctorate programs in subjects that are highly sought-after by businesses and which foster entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership. These include business administration, communication & public relations, international business, digital business, sports management, marketing, finance and enterprise, among others.

Our small class sizes guarantee personalized and cooperative learning from our faculty of highly qualified academics, entrepreneurs, consultants and business leaders. EU has an international student body and faculty of more than 100 nationalities, and a 27,000-strong alumni network that stretches around the world. Our intercampus and international exchange programs with institutions such as Pace University in New York (USA), ITESM (Mexico) and Stamford International University (Thailand) further enhance our students’ global experience.

We use a combination of classroom theory and experiential learning to immerse students in a real-world business environment through field trips, case studies, business simulations and internships, among other activities. Prestigious guest speaker events with renowned international leaders and frequent company visits to organizations like BMW, the United Nations agencies, Siemens and UEFA allow EU students to gain first-hand experience of the inner workings of global business giants and be successfully prepared for the rapidly evolving global business environment.

The reason I went to EU was because of its small class sizes and it was all international students. There were many students from the Middle East, from Asia, South America, and I think that having that wide-range of backgrounds is something that I later found extremely helpful when working in an international environment.

At EU, I found intellectually stimulating discussions, international colleagues, networking opportunities and relevant courses that bridge business theory and practice. After my MBA, I felt I could immediately apply the knowledge and skills I had acquired to my work.
