Evolving with personalised touch in Business Education

EADA Business School has undergone a remarkable transformation over the last few decades. We’ve moved from being a pure corporate education provider to a comprehensive educational institution offering a full ‘life cycle’ of business programmes – from undergraduate and master’s degrees to MBAs and executive education. This strategic shift reflects our commitment to adapting to the evolving needs of the business world.

However, our growth doesn’t overshadow what truly sets us apart: our continued focus on personalised and practical education. Unlike institutions rooted purely in academia, EADA prioritises a tailored approach that treats each student as an individual. In our recognition that leadership and personal development are critical to success in today’s dynamic marketplace, we equip our graduates with the skills and mindset to go beyond technical expertise and excel in any environment.

Excellence, Sustainability and Internationalisation

This commitment to excellence is reflected in our consistent presence in the top 25 global business schools. While rankings are a testament to our success, they are only a by-product of our core strengths: a strategic focus on globalisation, reflected in our international faculty and diverse student body, and an unwavering commitment to quality education.

We recognise that business has a vital role to play in driving positive change in today’s world. That is why we emphasise sustainability in our curriculum, educating future leaders about the far-reaching impact of their decisions – from supply chains to corporate governance. Our programmes advocate a ‘triple bottom line’ approach, ensuring that profit doesn’t come at the expense of people or the planet.

At EADA, we are not just educating for Spain; we are located in Barcelona, a global centre for business education.  Our city boasts three top business schools, attracting a diverse student body from over 70 countries. With over 95% of our students being international, a truly global perspective permeates our classrooms.

Empowering Global Leaders

As we move towards 2025, EADA is experiencing exciting growth. We have recently launched the Global BBA, a four-year undergraduate programme delivered entirely in English. In partnership with Skema Business School, this innovative programme offers a comprehensive education and even a double degree option in Artificial Intelligence. This initiative positions EADA as a leader in undergraduate education, alongside our established graduate and executive programmes. We are also introducing an Executive Doctorate in Business Administration, further enriching our global education repertoire – all while staying true to our core principles of experiential learning.

Today’s EADA is a testament to our unwavering commitment to personalised, practical and global education. We not only prepare students for careers, we empower them to become responsible leaders who can navigate the complexities of the modern business world.
