EADA Business School is consistently ranked as one of the top schools in Europe. Founded in 1957, it is one of only four schools in Spain who have been awarded both the EQUIS and AMBA accreditations. The main campus is very central as it is located on Carrer Aragó, 204, which makes it easily accessible.
IESE is a graduate school that is part of the University of Navarra. The Barcelona campus offers a range of degrees including MBA and Ph.D. programs. The school focuses on giving practical knowledge and active study with case studies to learn and apply to real business situations. It is an internationally renowned business school, which is reflected in its rankings. In 2017, the Financial Times ranked the IESA MBA amongst the world’s top 10.
You may think that the Toulouse Business School sounds like it should be on a different list, perhaps one for business schools in France. However, the school has three campuses: one in Toulouse, France, one Casablanca, Morocco, and one in Barcelona, Spain, which was opened in 1995. In Barcelona, they offer two programs: a bachelor in management and a master in management. It is also another highly accredited business school, achieving all three accreditations of AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA. Only a very small proportion of business schools have earned this in the world. The Toulouse Business School also prides itself on its international environment with over half of its students coming from abroad.

IEBS stands for Escuela de Negócios de la Innovacíon y los Empreendedores. Founded in 2009, this school presents itself as an alternative to the traditional business schools, using an innovative education method to train the new leaders in the business sphere. They use new technologies, practical cases, and collaborative learning as ways to impart the knowledge. Studying with IEBS is very convenient for people who can’t afford to go out to learn due to conflicting schedules since all of their classes are taught entirely online. You do have to have a good level of Spanish to study at IEBS thought as there are no classes which are taught in English.
