About EU Business School
EU Business School is a private business school founded in 1973. It teaches only in English and runs campuses in Barcelona, Geneva and Munich, plus an online campus, with students allowed to move between them. It is now part of OMNES Education, a French private higher-education group.
It is important to understand what kind of qualification you get. EU is not a Spanish university, so its Barcelona programmes are not official Spanish university degrees. Master's students receive a lifelong-learning master's (a 'título propio', a university's own qualification rather than an official degree) awarded by the Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya, together with a private EU Business School degree accredited in Switzerland. Some programmes offer an extra UK degree: the BA (Hons) in Business Management in Barcelona is awarded by the University of Derby, and a top-up module can lead to a London Metropolitan University master's.
