Business Summer School

Business Summer School is specifically designed for current university students, recent graduates and young professionals who are interested in obtaining transferable business skills or setting up their own company.

Business Summer School provides students with a solid understanding of the latest trends in global business as well as a unique insight into the corporate world. The academic content used by the Business Summer School has been adapted from EU Business School’s (EU) top-ranked MBA programs and is taught by the same faculty and business leaders. Classes are combined with company visits and talks from industry leaders to provide a privileged insight into companies and their day-to-day operations.

Classes take place in the morning, and are followed by social and cultural activities in the afternoon. These immerse students in Spanish culture and foster lifelong international friendships. 

Students who wish to acquire skills in innovation and entrepreneurship, but who are finally unable to travel due to the global health situation will attend Online Business Summer School. This online program has been specifically designed to provide a highly engaging and dynamic learning experience.
