For many, earning an MBA opens doors to more career opportunities and paves the way for higher salaries. In a 2024 survey by the Graduate Management Admission Council, over a third of global recruiters expect to hire more MBA graduates in 2024 than last year, with the consulting, finance and accounting sectors reporting greater demand for MBA graduates.
This is where having an MBA from EU Business School can take your career far.

MBA programmes to succeed in the global business world
EU’s MBA programmes are designed to provide a comprehensive education in business management, leadership, and strategy. The programmes can be completed as a one-year, full-time course or a two-year, part-time course, with start dates available in October, January, and April. With 90 ECTS credits, in addition to the opportunity to earn 120 ECTS in Barcelona, Geneva and the Digital Campus via the programmes’ additional qualification option, and the flexibility to choose different specialisations, the programmes equip students with the tools to succeed in their chosen fields.
For instance, the MBA in International Business helps students navigate the global market while honing their creative problem-solving skills. The MBA in Digital Communication teaches students how to create and manage digital media strategies and communication plans effectively. MBA in International Marketing provides the framework for understanding markets, competitors, product portfolios and consumer behaviour from an international perspective. For those interested in global finance, the MBA in Global Banking & Finance equips students with a strong analytical foundation, preparing them for finance-centred careers with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Adapting to environmental and technological shifts is key for growing businesses. The MBA in Entrepreneurship prepares students for the challenges of launching and scaling businesses. Other specialisations, like the MBA in Digital Business, address the growing need for expertise in online business operations, covering everything from online architecture to usability. Meanwhile, the MBA in Sports Management is tailored to those aiming for careers in sports industries, offering courses in sports marketing, management, and financial operations related to sponsorship.
Across all specialisations, students complete a variety of modules on topics ranging from marketing to economics. To graduate, students complete a management research methods module and a dissertation.
Students learn from high-calibre faculty, consisting of experienced entrepreneurs, consultants, and business leaders. Their blend of academic knowledge and practical expertise boosts the learning experience, allowing students to apply new knowledge to real business scenarios. EU students can engage in meaningful discussions and get personalised advice from their professors and peers thanks to the school’s small class sizes.

MBAs that go beyond the classroom
Through EU’s exclusive Business Immersion Weeks, students participate in interactive activities that hone real-world business skills. These experiences, along with guest speaker events and company visits, give students direct access to industry leaders and cutting-edge business practices. Notable past speakers include Matt Murray, former Editor-in-Chief of The Wall Street Journal, and Judith Wiese, Chief People and Sustainability Officer and Member of the Managing Board of Siemens. Students also visit global organisations like BMW, Amazon, and UEFA, gaining firsthand insights into their operations.
EU students have a wealth of opportunities to sharpen their cross-cultural business competencies. With a student body of over 100 nationalities the EU community gives students a global lens on international matters and helps expand their network. EU’s intercampus and international exchange programmes create additional options for global exposure, allowing students to study in different locations and experience various business cultures.
“EU Munich has been the cornerstone of my business career,” says Akhil Ramola, an MBA in Project Management student from India. “Connecting with people and enhancing each other’s work creates an environment where everyone can excel.”
Akhil is one of many with a positive experience. EU graduates ascend to top leadership roles worldwide. Alumni like Omar Berrada, CEO of Manchester United FC, Sophia Rüscher, MD of Mediaplanet Austria, and Juan Bernal, CEO of CaixaBank Asset Management, exemplify the career success possible with a qualification from EU.
