Business administration is a very popular career and that is because of a great market demand. Business administration students and professionals usually choose to take a specialization in the field, and the most popular are the MBA (Master in Business Administration) programs. MBA programs can be found in many universities around the world. For people who like to study in Europe, there are many interesting options about this specialization. 
 

Spain is one of the best alternatives in Europe for a master in business. Spain was the second country in Europe to offer a MBA, in the IESE (Institute of Higher Business Studies) in 1964. Spain is also a beautiful place to visit and has an enormous culture to discover. The IESE has two campuses in Spain’s most important cities, Madrid and Barcelona. Both cities are beautiful and interesting places to study or work. Let’s focus on Barcelona.
 

Barcelona, a diverse and interesting city, offers a wide range of options for people who want to take a MBA program. MBA Barcelona programs can be found in many institutions. 
 

First we have the EAE Business School, which is the 4th best business school in Spain and offers a great environment for business studies. It is also known for its architecture and eye-catching design.
 

Then, there is the ESERP (Escuela Superior de Relaciones Públicas) Business School; it offers business studies not only in Madrid and Barcelona, but also in many universities around all Europe thanks to pre-made agreements. The school also makes publications about business and economic studies.

 

Finally we have CEF (Finance Studies Center), which is a very important center of business studies in Spain. It also offers education to interested individuals and company workers. This educational institution also has its own publishing house. 

 

People who have decided to study in Spain should keep in mind that they have to take Spanish lessons. Spanish people usually prefer to speak in Spanish and that forces you to adopt Spanish as a new language to get a better understanding of the language itself. That will also contribute to a better self-confidence when you try to speak a language that you don’t know.

 

There are many ways to learn Spanish in Barcelona; you can take a course in an institute or take an online course, both courses suit you because they will facilitate the comprehension and practice of the language.
 

While being in Barcelona you can also take a course about the history of Spain or Spanish culture that will complement the travel. And for people interested in going to Europe, you can find really interesting courses about European history or courses that are focused on specific countries like: French history, German history or Italian history.
