Business Summer School

Business Summer School is a three- or six-week English-taught program taking place in July and August at EU Barcelona. It is designed for current university students from any academic background who are interested in business and would like to complement their studies, earn university credits and accelerate their graduation while enjoying their summer vacation in Barcelona. The program will also benefit recent graduates and young professionals with less than two years of work experience. 

Business Summer School provides students with a broad understanding of some of the latest trends in business, such as digitalization, entrepreneurship, SEM, SEO, social media and design thinking. Two of EU’s bachelor courses are delivered per session and, upon successful completion of the program, students are awarded 6 ECTS credits (4 CH) as well as an EU Business School transcript and certificate. These students will also obtain a scholarship for EU’s master’s and MBA programs. 

Classes take place in the morning and are followed by workshops, company visits, beginners’ Spanish classes and social and cultural activities in the afternoon. These introduce students to Spanish culture, enhance their soft skills and provide them with a well-rounded educational experience fostering lifelong international friendships.
