Established in 1973, EU Business School (EU) is an international, professionally accredited, high-ranking business school with campuses in Barcelona, Geneva, Montreux, Munich and online. It offers foundation, bachelor’s, master’s and MBA programs taught by highly qualified academics, entrepreneurs and consultants. Education has changed in myriad ways over the almost five decades since EU was founded, and this leading European business school explains how it has responded to the challenges of educating the business leaders of tomorrow.
Transforming Education Through Technology
Technology has transformed the world dramatically in the last decade. This digital transformation has had a major impact on education, not only with regards to content but also to the way classes are given. EU Business School has addressed these changes by expanding their range of programs while harnessing these technological advances in order to teach more effectively. Their online campus is a clear example of this. EU uses the latest state-of-the-art educational platforms as well as webinars, forums and streaming to give classes to online students from all over the world. More and more students opt for this flexible study option which allows them to continue to work and study in the comfort of their own homes.
EU is constantly updating its curricula to reflect the latest technological changes: for example, their latest bachelor’s program is in Digital Business, Design Innovation. They have also extended their MBA specializations to include blockchain management. Moreover, they are increasingly aware of the growing influence of artificial intelligence and the role it will play in business in the future. For this reason, they held an AI and robotics summit this year to keep students ahead of these trends.
Bringing Business to Life
EU Business School immerses students in the real business world by emphasizing experiential learning, which includes case studies, business simulations, guest speaker sessions and company visits. The Learning From Leaders conference series has given students the chance to learn from the world’s most important business leaders, such as Paul Bulcke, the chairman of Nestlé, or Jim Hagemann Snabe, chairman of Siemens and Maersk.
Additionally, the outstanding faculty made up of business executives, entrepreneurs and consultants as well as highly qualified academics ensures students get a firm understanding of current operations.
The Importance of Diversity
EU promotes peer learning among its diverse student body to enhance key soft skills such as adaptability and an awareness of different communities and cultures. The business school’s multicultural community of more than 100 nationalities fosters a global mindset crucial for doing business in the 21st century. In fact, QS ranks the institute number one in the world for diversity in its global rankings. This enriching international experience is strengthened by the opportunity to transfer between their campuses: in fact, 37% of their students take advantage of their intercampus exchange programs and enjoy student life in their campus cities of Barcelona, Geneva, Montreux, Munich and online. These vibrant business hubs offer students a cosmopolitan lifestyle and plenty of activities to enjoy outside the classroom. In today’s fast-paced environment, students should adopt an international mindset and be open to new perspectives, change and diversity. EU offers more than education as it creates networking opportunities for its students and encourages them to nurture lifelong friendships during their studies that can help their future business career.
Top-Ranked Programs and a Personalized Experience
At EU, students not only receive an outstanding education, but all their classes are taught in English, the international language of business. They also have the opportunity to earn U.K. state-accredited degrees awarded by the University of Derby (ranked 26th overall by The Guardian University Guide 2020) or from the University of Roehampton in London, U.K., while studying on our campuses.
Moreover, at EU we offer a personalized educational experience, keeping class sizes small so that students can interact with faculty. In addition, the large number of student counselors on campus help students integrate into our campus cities and assist them in making the most out of their studies.
The Future At EU
Over the next five years, EU Business School will continue to respond to the impact digitalization is having on the education sector by offering an outstanding business education. They will continue to ensure that their students, the leaders of the future, are equipped with the knowledge and skills to take business to the next level.
