Earning an advanced degree is a huge step for anyone aiming to excel in the fast-paced world of international business. But in an era defined by digital transformation and accelerating scientific progress, nothing guarantees global success quite like a globally recognised master’s programme. From its three campuses in Barcelona, Geneva, and Munich, in addition to its Digital Campus, EU Business School (EU) offers plenty of options. Each and every programme is designed to boost the employability of those looking to climb the career ladder or pivot into new industries abroad.
Just ask Emmanuel Doffou, a Master in Communications and PR graduate pursuing a design career within non-profits. “Communications and PR are very important, and doing this master’s was extremely helpful,” he says. “We learned that every audience is different and were taught how to deliver our message clearly and concisely through different exercises during our lectures.”
Since its founding in 1973, EU Business School has become a leader in business education, blending the values of Swiss education with an international outlook. Over the years, it has earned multiple recognitions, including a four-star rating for excellence in business education by QS Stars. China Economic Review magazine ranked it one of the top 20 business schools, and Capital magazine placed it sixth for the best business school for women.
EU’s master’s programmes reflect these accolades. Students can choose from 10 specialised programmes, each tailored to their interests and career goals. Delivered entirely in English, these programmes equip students with expertise in a specific business area while ensuring they have a strong grasp of core business concepts.
“I’ve had the chance to focus deeply on my specialization and benefit from EU’s expert faculty,” says Arpi Tovmasyan, a Master in Marketing graduate. “In addition to this, EU’s student body is extremely diverse, and it blends seamlessly into Munich’s expat community, which is great for business.”
The available programmes include Master in Artificial Intelligence for Business, Master in Management, Master in Marketing, Master in Finance, Master in Tourism & Hospitality Management, Master in Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Master in Digital Business, Master in Fashion & Luxury Business, Master in Digital Marketing, Transformation & Design Thinking, and Master in Business Analytics & Data Science. For those who need a more flexible approach, six of these master’s programmes are offered through EU’s Digital Campus.
All programmes are taught by a high-calibre faculty. They are entrepreneurs, consultants, and business leaders who bring expertise and experience – both of which set students up for the real world.
The effectiveness of the EU approach is thanks to faculty members allowing students to learn by doing. Beyond lectures, there are case studies, guest speakers, and projects — all of which test technical skills and forge some of the most sought-after soft skills today, such as critical thinking and creative problem-solving.
For example, students can join the Mark Challenge, a global business plan competition powered by the International University of Monaco (IUM), which connects students, alumni, academic professionals, and business leaders worldwide. EU also hosts the exclusive Impact Pitches Competition, where students present their three-minute pitch to a panel of industry experts.
Alongside these options, the school offers the EU Finance Club and Business Immersion Week events. Held every semester, Business Immersion Week involves company visits, problem-solving workshops, and dynamic activities to engage students’ creativity and develop essential skills for the workplace.
Support is available at every step of a student’s journey at EU. The Career Services Department provides personalised coaching, CV editing assistance, and access to events designed to connect you with the business community. Paired with Career Days and networking events, EU allows you to get a head start on making a lasting impression in your job search and interviews.
Another advantage offered by EU is mentorship connections. Local business entrepreneurs like Soly Sakal, Co-founder of Seven Roots, and Frank Alonso, CBO of Bcombinator, serve as mentors, offering their expertise and guidance to EU students. Following graduation, students can also connect with mentors through the more than 30,000 members of the EU Alumni Hub, gaining valuable advice and insights from experienced industry professionals.
With everything they can access through EU, it’s little surprise that EU graduates ascend to senior positions worldwide. Graduates like Omar Berrada, CEO of Manchester United FC, Guillermo Aguilar, LATAM GTM Growth Strategy Lead at Google, and Irina Kozlova, Senior Product Marketing Manager EMEA at The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., exemplify the career success possible with EU.
