ABOUT UNIVERSITY

EAE Business School is a private business school in Spain that was founded in 1958 by José de Orbaneja y Aragón and has campuses in Madrid and Barcelona. In 2006, it became part of Grupo Planeta, one of Spain’s largest publishing and education groups, strengthening its position as an international business education provider. The school offers a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate, MBA, and executive education programmes designed to prepare students for careers in business, management, finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, and related fields. Academic programmes are officially awarded through partner universities, with qualifications validated by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya for programmes delivered in Barcelona and Universidad UNIE for those in Madrid. EAE is a member of several respected educational and professional organisations, including the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD), the European Business Ethics Network (EBEN), the Latin American Council of MBA Schools (CLADEA), and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), although it holds AACSB membership rather than accreditation. The school has consistently received recognition in Spanish and international rankings for the quality of its programmes and reputation. It has been ranked among Spain’s most reputable business schools by the Merco Ranking, recognised as one of the country’s leading institutions for attracting and developing talent, and acknowledged for corporate responsibility and governance. Several of its specialised master’s programmes, including Corporate Communication Management, Financial Management, Marketing, Human Resources Management, and Supply Chain Management, have been listed among Spain’s and the world’s best by rankings such as El Mundo and Eduniversal. EAE Business School also maintains a strong public profile through regular contributions to national newspapers, television, radio, and business media, reflecting its expertise in economics, management, and current business issues. With decades of experience, international recognition, strong academic partnerships, and an emphasis on practical, career-focused education, EAE Business School has established itself as one of Spain’s leading private business schools for students seeking globally relevant business qualifications.
